I'm going to try and collect some telemetry here in FM29 next pass, at 14:50z. I still have my WinPack UO-11 config file, it is loaded up and my DSP2232 is streaming 1200 baud ASCII, searching for a signal. Just like old times! I will report back here, and send the telemetry file(if any) to Clive...

Hi
Another very strong UO-11 pass here this evening. (0909 to 0922 utc, 60 deg) The signal became noisy with rapid fading just after UO-11 went into eclipse at around 0919 but signals continued but gradually became weaker and the fades deeper until I lost the signal in the noise about 1 minute before LOS. I recorded the pass.

Hi,
I have received two reports from Keith N4ZQ (EL88ob) that he has heard UO-11 on 19 November at 13:33 - 13:43, and on 22 November at 13:02 UTC.
He has sent me a WAV file of the second pass. Unfortunately, it's a very low elevation pass, and probably will be difficult to decode, as it contains a lot of noise. However it's definitely UO-11.
I'll be interested in receiving any other reports. The frequency is 145.826 MHz. Mode is FM. Further details are on my OLD website www.users.zetnet.co.uk/clivew There is an audio clip to help identify the satellite.
Please e-mail me via the AMSAT reflector, or post to this bulletin board.

Hi!
I'll add my "two cents worth." I heard the old familiar "buzz" loud and clear on a Yaesu FT-530 HT and a hand held three element Yagi on the 1453 UTC pass over Fort Worth, TX, this morning. It was certainly good to hear the old familiar "buzz" and it reached full scale on the FT-530 during a good part of the pass.
