The beacon was very loud here!  I did work N0GVK tonight for my first QSO on this satellite. Transponder signals not as loud as the beacon, and it took me a while to find myself on the downlink. Congratulations on a successful launch and deployment!

If you are using a sat tracker from CSN technologies we do have the TLE’S and frequencies for this satellite already in place.

Just hit your TLE update button and you’re ready to go

Xw-3 or cas-9
