Hi All,
Yes the SSETI Express team would be really delighted to have any reception reports as most of the SSETI Express Groundstation network infrastructure around Europe has now been redeployed to track other satellites....
The data format one might hear would be one of the following depending on bus voltages:
a short, less than one second, burst of 9k6 AX25 telemetry either every 18 seconds - the Nominal Beacon or
a simple plain carrier Pulse Beacon with 1.6 seconds of CW like transmission every 30 or 120 seconds
More details are available here: http://www.sseti.net/the-express-mission/space-craft-beacon.html
Currently however the decoding software appears no longer available for download - I will try to see what can be done about that!
thanks

Hi Auke,
If you are listening for supposedly "dead" amateur radio satellites, then you might also want to listen for SSETI Express on 437.250 using NBFM. SSETI went silent shortly after launch. If it ever wakes up, you should hear 9600 baud data signals on 437.250. This will sound like white noise - slightly different than static.
