Hi Colin,

do you mean really OBJECT J (NORAD 29491)?

Between OBJECT B (29480) and OBJECT J is a time difference of 27 minutes.

I can hear HITSAT from AOS to LOS with OBJECT B. But a correction of -1KHz in CW Mode (FT-736R with small filters) is necessary.

A second question: the RCS of OBJECT B is 9.0. That seems to me for a Cubesat much too largely.

Over the last two days I have concluded that HITSAT is more likely to be Object J, than Object B. Using Object J, I am able to hold the CW tone, to +/- 100 Hertz, using homebrew software that updates the RX every 1 second. Colin VK5HI.
