Hello Fellow Amateurs, We have received our first report from Ian Ashley, ZL1AOX, from New Zealand about successful copying of the beacon. -------------------------- CW copied in New Zealand at location RF72mv from 11:24 to 11:37 on 437.425+-, 13th October 2011. Thought I was recording but it didn't start. Sorry. Signals fairly weak and MixW wouldn't decode but OK to the human ear!
Congratulations on a successful launch and deployment. Regards Ian Ashley ZL1AOX" --------------------------

Dinesh,
Congratulations to you and your team on a successful launch and activation!
I am hearing SRMVU pretty well over North Carolina grid FM05pj at 13:53utc 12 Oct 2011.
After the pass, I will send you an email with a link to the WAVE recording so you may decode telemetry if you wish.
73,
