I successfully worked PV8DX, NS3L, and K8YSE on NAYIF-1 from EL98c b in central Florida. Operation was (as expected) similar to AO-73. Published frequencies seemed to work fine. The pre-launch keps were a little behind, the sat rose and set around a minute earlier than predicted at my location.
The downlink is VERY loud, PV8DX was S8 on my handheld 3 element arrow antenna. I was transmitting 8w with an FT-857 and receiving on an FT-817.
Nice to hear some activity already, and thanks to the FUNcube team for this great new transponder!
Below is a link to my recording of the pass. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By_RpGn0xRmAR2x6TXJ4bUhkZFk
