I got my downlink signal on ARISSat-1 SDX at eclipse pass 1233-1240z 5th Aug.

SDX was open at the same time CW, BPSK, FM transmitting at eclipse aka low power mode. I heard BPSK signal then QSY to SDX band. I got clear and laud my downlink though the elevation was less then 5deg. My uplink system is 10W with 13ele Yagi. Open time is 40sec every 2min. Very short but enough for quick QSO.
