Mike and the rest of the list,
CAPE-1 almost perfectly tracks with Object 31129. AOS on the last pass was 30secs. after predicted and LOS 10-20 secs. before predicted. Frequency was nominal. There is a building that is directly in the line of sight when on the AOS horizon which affects the lower 1 or 2 degrees elevation (The building is a 3-story building and we have a 20 ft tower on top of a 2 story building. Frequency was nominal and rotor and frequency control were left to the radio. Signal strength was S7 on a 4 degree pass.

Hi all,
CAPE-1's back and loud. Just had an excellent pass over CAPE ground station with strong signal (operating remotely, so no definite signal reading). Copied at least 4 or 5 CW beacons and fixing to go back and decode. Will update on status after packet decode.

Did anybody decode the 9k6 part of the beacon? I switched to FM mode during this part and the DCE LED lit but could not see any data.

Thanks for the report Mike! We are very excited here and your data just adds to the excitement. Judging by SatPC it looks like the satellite may have been in eclipse. Is this true?
