Just to confirm my reception earlier this eveing of a fragment of trlrmrtry.
I have a very basic setup here - this should inspire people to listen out for these cubesats.
I have only a AOR8000 hand/held scanner for cw at 70cm and I built my own 70cm RHCP 6 ele yagi (no preamp). I predicted the az and el of the pass using object A keps and at 17:38:25 utc on 437.8125 CW (and dopplering down) recorded a .wav file to transcribe later as:
0d4d4f (maybe "g")
46f
84c
This compares well with more competent reports (DK3WN)!!
The cw decode from the Hitsat website gives me:
Element set decode received EE temp. w face 0d DD temp w face 4d GG temp x face 4f HH temp x face II temp y face JJ temp y face KK TX temp LL battery temp 4c
Don't know what units these elements are in though.
So there we are, modest equipment, can read the housekeeping data from Hitsat! I've sent a WAV file to the command team, if they can make sense of it.
