Dear friends from University of loisiana in Lafayette,
Your bird was heard in the North of France when flying over Oran (Algeria), orbit number 204, especially the CW beacon (on 145.823 MHz +- Doppler) between 12:12:52 and 12:13:06 UTC, content was "EUL CAPE 2 OR UF231". The signal was somewhat chirpy, but it's exactly the sound which the real lover of CW like above all. Really ! :-) http://f5yg.pagesperso-orange.fr/forum/CAPE-2_orb204_03dec2013.mp3 The signal to noise ratio is not too good because I'm using an old AM/FM scanner from the 80s heterodyned by my medium wave homebrew transmitter fitted with a 456.9 Xtal. The antenna was a vertical half-wave inside the attic.
The next orbit, number 205, was heard too, with the CW beacon affected at that time by a hoarse voice and suffering from a strong fadding. So I'm not absolutly sure, poor lonesome telegraphist, of my human decoding, "M5UL CAPE 2 ÜR 5045", something like that. It was over the East coast of Spain, between 12:12:52 and 12:13:06 : http://f5yg.pagesperso-orange.fr/forum/CAPE-2_orb205_03dec2013.mp3
Congratulation to the Cajun Advanced Picosat Experiment team from France !

Looks quite good, and for XW-2B this is a good question as Celestrak gives the tle for all the family except this one. But... from Doppler shift measurements here, again with this last pass over Europe, I guess it is 40911.
No ? ;-)
Best 73 !

Yes, this one ! And very strong signal for all of them.
As the Xiwang-1 XW-1 received the callsign BJ1SA six years ago and is still speaking, the next one could not use this callsign, so BJ1SB stand for XW-2A, BJ1SC for XW-2B, etc..., and BJ1SG for XW-2F.
Good evening Jan, thank you for the confirmation,
73+++ !

Hi everybody !
CAPE-2 began again to be heard evening in Europe, and the PicoDragon continue to be heard but more and more early in the morning and the usable orbits will soon sink here in the darkness of the dawn. Was received :
CAPE-2: orbit nr 818 January 12th; orbit nr 833 January 13th; orbit nr 848 January 14th (for this last one today, CW beacon: "W5UL CAPE2 GN V5250").
PicoDragon: orbit nr 621 December 29th; orbit nr 622 December 29th; orbit nr 623 December 29th; orbit nr 654 December 31st; orbit nr 762 January 7th; orbit nr 791 January 9th; orbit nr 806 January 10th; orbit nr 822 January 11th; orbit nr 853 January 13th; orbit nr 869 January 14th (CW beacon: "5 PICODRAGON VIETNAM 5").
Have a nice day, 73 !
