Is anyone aware of the current status of HORYU-2? We've been attempting to receive the telemetry at W1AW, but without success.
It is possible that we are using the wrong Keps (we have located two different sets).

It was transmitting CW telemetry yesterday. Object 38340 is Horyu-2 according to Space-Track.org, and they worked very well yesterday.

We finally achieved success just a bit ago. Nice, strong CW. Thanks for your help, Ken. Not sure what we may have been doing wrong before.
