I think UKube-1 is like the forgotten step child. Found it active this afternoon on a great descending pass down the west coast and no one on but myself to talk to. Thought it was down but transmitted up like you have to do on Funcube-1 one and found my downlink. It is alive and well.
I was almost all alone on XW-2B and XW-2F this evening. WO3T joined me. Seems to be the norm on weekday passes. Over the weekend cas4b was booming. The FM sat are normally busy regardless. -------- Original message --------From: Scott Harvey via AMSAT-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org Date: 3/14/18 7:27 PM (GMT-05:00) To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] UKube-1 I think UKube-1 is like the forgotten step child.

Suggest posting out on twitter if you plan to be on. I'm sure if you let some know you're there that you'll get someone to join you! Rob KA2CZU
