Also, can someone confirm the spelling. I see references to Peheunsat and Pehuensat on the web. The AMSAT Argentina site shows the latter.

Has anyone from the "command group" confirmed that there have been signals heard? I saw one message that they heard signals shortly after lift-off.

One last "brainstrom :-) :

I see ISS is in close proximity (haven't checked PCSAT-1, that would be even better to pick up the packet burst) to the satellite. Any chance of getting one of the astronauts to turn the radio to 145.825MHz? After all, they're not TOO busy, huh?? :-) . Seriously, they have a scheduled school contact on the 16th, maybe we could get them to QSY for a few mintues, assuming the satellite is is within range, assuming antenna orientation on both ends is "good".

tnx es 73
