Very strong signal from Delfi telemetry transmitter on 15:07 U.T.C 28 April 2008. Maximum elevation was 58 degres but was unable to synchronize de telemetry decoding software,will have to get use of the doppler shift which was quite high for this pass that was almost overhead. Set up here is: Receiver: Yaesu FT-726R Antenna: Cushcraft 10 elements Yagi, Azimuth and elevation controlled.
The bird was at the rendez-vous using the kepler elements downloaded from the Delfi website. Have recorded the entire pass in wav format.
Good work and congratulations to the Delfi team! Best 73 to all! Jean-Pierre VE2AHD
