Good morning everyone,
Does anyone know of known good satellites with either telemetry or beacon between 2.400GHZ & 2450GHZ?
Been looking on Satnogs without luck yet.

DTUSAT-2 at 2401.850 MHz.
Usually a CW beacon.

Over the years of amsat-bb, the topic to 13cm operation has come up several times.
Out of curiosity, what does the noise floor look like when pointed at the sky? Is 2.4 GHz a good band for satellite downlinks, or is it impossible to get away from the 802.11 wlan traffic in an urban setting?

Zach,
Unfortunatly DTUSAT-2 didn't work for me.
The noise floor is quite high & you are correctin the 802.11 wlan traffic, it smashes the 2.4ghz signal.
Lucky where I do the sat work as it's in the country areas of New South Wales in Aust, even being isolated this still picks up the 802.11 wlan traffic. You will need to turn off all computers/phones & anything with WIFI in it if you are the receiver.
There are only a couple private satellites that have the ITU coordinated filing for S band.
