      Hi Lee, WA6HTP
The 20 MHz beacon was only sending 164 bip.......bip.....bip per minute only
to indicate that Sputnik-1 was alive and well but no other information was
transmitted on it.

Lee,
My neighbor had a WWII ARC-5 receiver and I remember going over to his
house
...
to listen to it.  It went "beep, beep, beep..."  I wouldn't have known
what
...
telemetry was then.

CQ CQ,
I have been contacted by a reporter that will be doing a story soon on
the
50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1(October 4th).  He would like
to
try and locate any hams that may have actually successfully attempted to
listen for the Sputnik.  Forgive my satellite ignorance here, but since
Sputnik is not a ham sat, I am assuming it still put out some telemetry
or
other signals that may have been capable of being received by either
amateur
or shortwave radios?
If you, or someone you know, did this please let me know and I will hook
you
up with said reporter.
Please feel free to forward this request to any specific reflectors or
email
lists that you may be part of.
Thanks,
