Dinesh,
Congratulations to you and your team on a successful launch and activation!
I am hearing SRMVU pretty well over North Carolina grid FM05pj at 13:53utc 12 Oct 2011.
After the pass, I will send you an email with a link to the WAVE recording so you may decode telemetry if you wish.
73,

Hello Fellow Amateurs, We have received our first report from Ian Ashley, ZL1AOX, from New Zealand about successful copying of the beacon.
CW copied in New Zealand at location RF72mv from 11:24 to 11:37 on 437.425+-, 13th October 2011. Thought I was recording but it didn't start. Sorry. Signals fairly weak and MixW wouldn't decode but OK to the human ear!
Congratulations on a successful launch and deployment. Regards Ian Ashley ZL1AOX"
