The Delfi-C3 signal was heard on 145.930 on the 1646 to 1654 UTC in Northern CA using the initial keps provided by Delft which seemed very close.
The antenna was just a M2 2 meter halo and signals were very readable. Signal nulls were every 30 or so seconds. Won't bother recoding data until I get the gain antenna on it after I become more comfortable with its orbit and signal characteristic.
So congratulations to the U of Delft crew for a job well done. I'm especially keen to see how the satellite performs without the use of batteries.
