CP6 satellite, data decoding using CPX data decoder
Check out http://moredbs.atl.calpoly.edu/satellites/CP6/passes/2875. Six packets downloaded on one pass with new settings in IC-910. This was an attended pass with fine tuning the signal manually using the CW beacon as a guide. The best automated pass so far was three packets decoded. TLE in online primer located at http://www.gatorradio.org/CP6_tutorial.pdf gave reception from horizon to horizon and packet decoding (adequate signal strength) above 9 degrees.
My home ground station is based on the same equipment as W4DFU at the University of Florida Club station. Students will join me there tomorrow to do the same, then set-up for the newly launched cubesats. UF swampsat is under construction. See www.gatorradio.org http://www.gatorradio.org/ for club info.
