I want to thank everybody that has helped us track FASTRAC as we have gotten confirmation from multiple sources that they are both working beaconing and that the satellites are crosslinking. We were also able to hear a couple of beacons at our station this morning and will attempt to contact them again this afternoon on our next pass.
Thanks a lot, 73,

Weak signals from FASTRAC-1, could hear the 1k2 AFSK beacon every 3 min but not decode. No 9k6 signal anymore.
