Keeps impressing me somehow ...
Yesterday I monitored a pass of SEEDS-II (max 89 degree elevation)
Most remarkable to me is that these little satellites can be heared at very low elevation with very good S/N figures.
Receiving their CW telemetry can be done down to 0.5 degree elevation. Just using an old 2x8 elements antenna without pre-amp.
For what it's worth: this is how the S/N spectrum looks like when I hold a microphone on front of the speaker: http://www.pa3guo.com/seeds_06jul08_elevation_01_degree_cw_437.485.gif
