Hi Ralph, Had a pass here at 1604 UTC in Copenhagen. Used Object C to track Yubi.

Frequency seems to be like you said- but perhaps 1 kHz lower.

Just after AOS the signal went up to S-56. It is very strong. At TCA like S-59++

Lots of "funny" modulation forms. Started in CW, then some FM form, and something that sounded like SSTV.

During the pass it was in reach of the control station, I think they tested different things.

It is obviously tumbling still. Went from best with RHCP to best with LHCP.

At 4,000 km it was like S-55. Lost it at a distance of 4,600 km :-)

Hope they have included a transponder in Yubi.

RS-style CW telemetry heard on ~435.315 using callsign RS30. AOS-TCA-LOS matched previously posted TLEs.
