      Hi Bill and Other Folks,
To decode STRaND-1:
1-Sprint-2 TNC at 9600 baud in KISS mode (or any 9600 in KISS mode probably)
For software, thank DK3WN of course!
2-Using this software to capture:

Congrats, Hector.
I printed several STRaND-1 packets and need to figure out what to do with
them ;)
Which TLEs did you use?  Based on timestamps and scrolling time back in
SatPC32, it looks to me like the bird might be behind the pre-launch keps
I'm using.  Meaning, I see packets time stamped at the predicted LOS.  I was
NOT in the shack, but that's my guess based on time stamps.

Hello All
On the 22:36 UTC pass both STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 have been heard in 
Cienfuegos city (EL92sd). I was running a FUNcube Dongle with SDR-Radio 
V1.5 and a homebrew ARROW antenna with a homebrew preamplifier. The 
STRaND-1 beacon has a great signal (S9+).
Congratulations to the STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 teams for the great job!
73!
