ESCube-1 also heard over Copenhagen
Hi, Using the preliminary TLEs I heard ESTCube-1 beacon. Pass AOS 0908 UTC. Elevation 20 degrees max.
Adjusted frequency approximately 2 kHz up when listening in USB.
I did not note the time between beacons - but something like 2 min.
Congratulations to Estonian team.

On the last pass, orb. nr 4, good signal but only small pieces of text as there is a lot of time between CW frames and I was waiting not exactly on the frequency and time because of the approximate preliminary parameters. And I confirm OZ1MY observation, about 2 kHz higher than Doppler shift prediction using the tle given on the ESCube-1 site. Two frames received partly because of the panic, the first one ending at exactly 10:54:20 UTC.
Congratulation to the staff at Tartu and Tallinn, good job ! I'll send you more info ASAP directly.
best 73 !
