Good evening,
Nice strong signals from PSAT over southwest Washington, DC (FM18lv) around 2130Z. I decoded several frames of telemetry from the beacon and saw a couple of PSK31 signals in the passband, but from what I could decode, they appear to have been terrestrial QSOs in progress.
I did not see the BRICSAT beacon at all.
I was not setup to transmit on this pass. Maybe tomorrow.
Thanks to the U. S. Naval Academy, WB4APR, and Brno University for something different to try out. Hopefully I'll be able to make a QSO soon!
The decoded telemetry is below. Receive setup was a Yaesu FT-817, Arrow II, and HSM LNAA432 preamp. I had the levels screwed up when live, so this is decoded off my recording with fldigi.
