I'm going to try and collect some telemetry here in FM29 next pass, at
14:50z. I still have my WinPack UO-11 config file, it is loaded up and my
DSP2232 is streaming 1200 baud ASCII, searching for a signal. Just like 
old
times! I will report back here, and send the telemetry file(if any) to
Clive...

Hi
Another very strong UO-11 pass here this evening.  (0909 to 0922 utc, 60
deg)  The signal became noisy with rapid fading just after UO-11 went into
eclipse at around 0919 but signals continued but gradually became weaker 
and
the fades deeper until I lost the signal in the noise about 1 minute 
before
LOS. I recorded the pass.

Hi,
I have received two reports from Keith N4ZQ (EL88ob) that he has heard
UO-11 on 19 November at 13:33 - 13:43, and on 22 November  at 13:02 UTC.
He has sent me a WAV file of the second pass.  Unfortunately, it's a 
very low elevation pass, and probably will be difficult to decode, as it 
contains a lot of noise.  However it's definitely UO-11.
I'll be interested in receiving any other reports.  The frequency is 
145.826 MHz. Mode is FM.  Further details are on my OLD website 
www.users.zetnet.co.uk/clivew    There is an audio clip to help identify 
the satellite.
Please e-mail me via the AMSAT reflector, or post to this bulletin board.

Hi!
I'll add my "two cents worth."  I heard the old familiar "buzz" loud and 
clear on a Yaesu FT-530 HT and a hand held three element Yagi on the 1453 UTC 
pass over Fort Worth, TX, this morning.  It was certainly good to hear the 
old familiar "buzz" and it reached full scale on the FT-530 during a good 
part of the pass.
