Aside from HO-68 which has a rather strong beacon CW signal, and UKube-1, EO-79, does anyone have any suggestions for satellites with relatively strong beacon signals of any kind that would make good "Track the Sat" demos for the JOTA event I am running this weekend. Keith Pugh, W5IU will be helping me with AMSAT demos but I have wondered for some time now which birds folks felt had the strongest, most easily tracked beacon signals.
Thanks Much

Hi Tom,
CUTE1.7+APD-II, XI-IV and XI-V have also an good CW beacon signal.

Hello, Mike, Tom, all,
Yes, and the russian Mozhayets-4 (RS-22) too has a very, very strong beacon signal on 435.352 MHz (about the level of Xiwang-1 HO68, maybe higher). Tom, if you have not the grid to decode the CW telemetry, I will send it to you directly (a small pdf file). And a short mp3 sample if you want.
Have a nice day !

Tom,
LU-19 has only a boring carrier, but it is strong and reliable.
73s,
Alan WA4SCA
