8:35 p.m.
UK Pass 01.20utc.
30dg Max elevation this pass but a fairly good signal received.
1 SSTV image plus several audio messages received.
Two audio tlm as follows:
MET = 404 minutes IHU Temp = +26C Control Panel Temp = +22C Battery Voltage = 33.09V Battery Current = +391mA
MET = 406 minutes IHU Temp = +26C Control Panel Temp = +21C Battery Voltage = 33.40V Battery Current = +263mA
Local QRM obliterating the CW/Telemetry frequency.
From the sound of the signal the satellite would appear to be tumbling
slowly. Approx 6 seconds between nulls. Shows nicely on the SSTV image.
