Anyone digipeating through SKCUBE? While we have been using it to test pointing at a ground station in Fairbanks we noted some occasional 9k6 packets in the 'quite' period between CW and telemetry downlink sequences.

Hi Jim.
In the past I have monitored several passes but the digipeater never seemed to be active except over Europe or Asia. There is even a count-down timer on the telemetry that I see posted by others and when it has shown active, by the time it would have gotten over the US, the digipeater was not going to still be enabled.
Were you able to decode the packets to see what they were?

Thanks Scott.
Our team recorded several passes over AK but hasn't looked at the data yet, and folks are all headed out for family trips and the like. Perhaps next week we will get a look at it.
It's a curiosity for us. The objective of listening to it is to assure that station works when the next two LASP cubesats launch (MinXSS2 and CSIM).
