Hello to all!
Very strong signal received from LUSAT-1 (LO-19) in Cienfuegos city, EL92sd.
Orbit number 22137, 1843z max elevation 82 degrees.
Setup: FUNcube Dongle with SDR-Radio V2.0 and ELK antenna.
I recorded audio and IQ data. If anyone need the recording, please let me
know and I will be happy to send it.

Hello my friends from AMSAT-Argentina !
Your bird was heard here in the North of France, very very strong
signal, the sort you received with dash and dots, strong especially
according to the conditions : ground plane antenna in the attic, AM
receiver and 456,9 kHz transmitter poorly hacked together to receive CW,
GaAsFET preamp.
Orbit nr 22133, acquisition at 1202 UTC, lost at 1215 UTC (elev. then
was about 4 deg.). The max elevations was around 42 deg.
I recorded audio and spectrogram, I send you both later.
Best 73 !

after 23 years of operation, only a very weak carrier from local osc could
be copied.
