I thought this would interest the list considering the recent conversation on VO-52 and FM vs. SSB modes. After CAPE-1 disappeared for a couple days, it decided to make it's re-debut on VO-52's transponder. They just happened to be in view as CAPE-1 came out of eclipse and decided to wake up again.

Hi Jussi, That sounds interesting :-) CAPE1 - one of the cubesats just launched April 17th transmit at 435.245 MHz with CW (HEX data). We have not heard it since April 18th ? I just checked and they can "see" one another. 73 OZ1MY Ib ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jussi Liukkonen" [email protected] To: "Graham Shirville" [email protected]; "OZ1MY" [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 6:33 PM Subject: CW telemetry
Lo Graham and Ib!
Was just listening at VO-52 (23rd April 1620z).
At 145.900 I could hear for about 1 minute cw telemetry. It was of the
type
that FO-series satellites uses (FO-20, FO-29).
I was too amazed to write it down except for a short period which said:
055FF00000
Is there any satellite that sends cw telemetry on VO-52's uplink (435.250 plus minus doppler)?
Or has some satellite broken down and started sending on wrong freq? Or
has
VO-52 started sending cw telemetry?
cheers, Jussi OH5LK
