Congrats, Hector.
I printed several STRaND-1 packets and need to figure out what to do with them ;)
Which TLEs did you use? Based on timestamps and scrolling time back in SatPC32, it looks to me like the bird might be behind the pre-launch keps I'm using. Meaning, I see packets time stamped at the predicted LOS. I was NOT in the shack, but that's my guess based on time stamps.

Hello All
On the 22:36 UTC pass both STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 have been heard in Cienfuegos city (EL92sd). I was running a FUNcube Dongle with SDR-Radio V1.5 and a homebrew ARROW antenna with a homebrew preamplifier. The STRaND-1 beacon has a great signal (S9+).
Congratulations to the STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 teams for the great job!
73!
