what other sats do have reliable and reasonably strong beacons (in
morse code)?
One way to answer that would be to look at the following page and search for "CW". Then, check to see if the status shows "ACTIVE".

Hello Hugh and Jean-Pierre,
Thanks for pointing out SatNOGS to me. I'm new to sats and didn't realize that SatNOGS had this capability. I'll check it out.
So it seems RS-30 is dead. I checked the SatNOGS recordings, but I couldn't detect any CW. A pity, 'cause back in 2009 it was one of the first sat signals I received on my HT with a simple antenna.
I asked this question before on this list, but what other sats do have reliable and reasonably strong beacons (in morse code)? Any suggestions are welcome. Cheers.

Hi, Hans,
The last record of Yubileiny-1 RS-30 CW telemetry I done was on november 12th 2012. It died sometime in november 2012 and the CW beacon was on 435.315 MHz and was pure CW A1. 435.215 MHz was used by the digital telemetry downlink (with the russian Doka-B ground stations). But anyway, I listen from time to time to the frequencies of the missing birds, just in case... My russian favorite was Mozhyets-4 RS-22. :-) and my favorite chinese Xiwang-1 (Hope-1, HO-68)my favorite, which is still possible to hear from time to time when solar panels are under the sun (like AO-7).
Hans, there are a lot of others satellites sending CW telemetry on 70 cm.

Hello all,
I'm trying out my 4 element 70cm LFA and (finally) received some decent signals from Athenoxat-1 (437.485 MHz). I had some good passes for Yubileiny RS-30 in the last couple of days, but I didn't observe anything. So, questions:
is RS-30 dead or still alive?
if alive, on which frequency is the morse code beacon active 435.215
or 435.315?
- what mode should I use then: FMN or pure CW.
I would like to know if anybody has observed RS-30 recently. On the web I can't find any recent observations. Thank you.
