We used our modest EME station to receive and do a live feed of data from 4M into the online database for a couple of hours in the early evening here in Colorado. Signal was plenty strong and we sent along a couple hundred packets, although sun noise was a bit high just off the spacecraft direction. We could hear the JT65B tones in the speaker much of the time. Sample below. We will continue to feed in data as we have time.
TLEs on the mission web site are now OK in NOVA for tracking, even though NOVA shows an AOS of "CRASHED" because the orbit intersects the earth after the lunar loop around.
The signal levels shown in this WSJT capture are quite strong at up to -8dB.
My EME station is 2x15 element Yagis on 38' booms, horizontal, .8dB NF preamp on the short tower. About 17dB gain overall. Probably somewhat less since they are cut for 144.1 and this spacecraft is at 145.980.
