Is Prospero still TX'ing?
Is Prospero still transmitting?
Sometime ago, I think in 2007 the BBC TV program Coast was on the Isle of White where there had been a test stand for rocket testing.
They talked about Prospero and had a short piece with some people trying to hear it with a small yagi. Apologies but the memory is a bit hazy.
Subsequently I spent quite a few hours listening for it with a tower mounted 5el X yagi, an up to date set of keps, and an FT847 - after several days, nothing heard.

I have a copy of that program, It was BBC "Coast" Series 2, Episode 1 Dover to Isle Of Wight. Its right at the end of the episode. It tells the story of Prospero, and shows a receiver connected to a small yagi, and the satellite is audible. They use an AR8600 RX, and the displayed frequency is 137.5610 Wide FM
Don't know about sharing, the whole episode avi is 700+meg! + copyright issues.
