Listening to this pass right now, using Mineo's keps. Quite audible with very few fades from 5 deg. with a 1/4 wave vertical and a mast-mounted preamp. Telemetry does have a 5 second period about every minute or so when it goes off. The keps are not yet suitable for doppler tuning: I'm tuning up by 2kHz right now. Hooray for the Chinese amateur community and for those who allowed the launching hardware to be used for our benefit!
