Hi.
Received good signals from DelfiC3 tonight in IO91TK 15km west of London. Nice to hear another satellite on 2m. Just love that low path loss!
145.930 IC706 + 10m RG58 to roof mounted vertical. No pre-amp. Signals 18dB above noise. Nominal distance to satellite 1400km
The signal abruptly disappeared at 19:45 and 5 seconds. ( Command from ground station?) This was not the usual transistion as a satellite pases over the horizon
Anyway, strong signals so very good news.
Well done Delft University of Technology.
