So it is a demod/remod fsk data repeater? Please give us more description of the "F1D" transponder.
I cannot WAIT for the Virginia Tech super ground station to be up and running. My office is covered up in boxes with PoP (pile of parts). I had hoped to have it up and running through 70cm before Thanksgiving. Just too much to do.

Shin-En 2 not have a Mode J transponder. We can use ‘A system’ for F1D uplink/downlink. CWID will be transmit by the B system. Format is: http://leo.sci.kagoshima-u.ac.jp/KSAT-HP/Shin-en2_Comm_E.html More information will be available soon.

I think I've gathered enough information about this to get a little
excited. Shin-En 2 is going to be launched with Hayabusa-2 from Japan early November 3 0 UTC on an Earth escape trajectory, Along with Artsat-Despatch. Shin-En 2 car ries a 800mw Mode J transponder and 800mw WSJT beacon. It looks like there wil l be a pass before it gets too far out right after launch, where the range is 20k-30k km for me in Florida. This will be much, much weaker than FO-29, but i t might be workable with a AO-13 class station early on the first day or two. I'll be up for the launch and the first window around 2AM EST on the morning o f the 1st. It'd be nice to have some stations to work if it's possible!

Hideo Kambayashi has been posting links and pictures on the AMSAT North
Amer ica Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/7828379515/
A diagram indicating the position when Shin-En 2 will be deployed has
been c opied to http://www.amsat.org/?attachment_id=3564 I hope to put together a pos t for the AMSAT website front page tonight with more details.
We should be able to use the Artsat-Despatch tracker for both
satellites, at least in the beginning: http://api.artsat.jp/pass/
Some info on Artsat http://despatch.artsat.jp/en/Main_Page and

That's all for now, more after work.
