Hi Mani,
We just had a relatively low pass to the north-west here in CM98. 16 degrees up, about 17:35z. Nothing heard with my beam antenna (2 x 8 elements CP) on 145.870 FM. Is the downlink on continuously, or on a timer? Perhaps we just missed it?

This payload is fastened to the last stage of the PSLV engine. This spent last stage of PSLV is often used as an 'Experimental Platform' called 'POEM' (PSLV Orbital Experimental Module). This is the 4th such experimental module. Since 31st December, BGS ARPIT is made 'ON' only over India and we have been receiving very good and encouraging signal reception reports, Today, for the first time, it is decided to turn it 'ON' over Europe and keep it on for a while. We request our Amateur Radio fraternity over Europe and along its footprint path to look out for the signals. We would greatly appreciate the signal reception report.
Time 'Switch ON' : 11:15 UT Time 'Switch OFF' : 13:15 UT Object : POEM-4 Payload : BGS ARPIT NORAD No : 62461 Frequency : 145.870 MHz (IARU Coordinated) Mode : NFM Data : 1. Pre recorded audio message : 2. Greeting Message & limited TM in APRS Packet format : 3. Pre loaded SSTV Images
This payload will be turned 'ON' over other parts of the Globe, in the coming days.
Thanks in advance
