Hi OMs,
MaSat-1 seems to me as great CubeSat. The signal during revn 5 was very strong at max elevation 12 degrees at me in Brno. Number of detected Packets was 74. The audio file: http://www.urel.feec.vutbr.cz/esl/files/Othact/masat1_rev5.wav
Congrats Budapest Team!

Nice work, Mirek!
I just decoded Masat-1 using Funcube Dongle and their software. I only got a few packets, but I was doing all of it remotely from work :)

Good 32 deg Masat-1 pass over ZL at 0911UT. 373 frames decoded and good solid signals throughout the pass.

Anybody find the TLEs yet??
Using the pre-launch set this morning wasn't really great. It's amazing what 24 hours will do :)
For example, this moring I could hear Masat-1 and XATCOBEO "below the horizon" according to the pre-launch set. So it's appearing later than predicited using this set.

I was looking this morning as well, but couldn't find them. Analyzing the doppler shift indicated the pass was 50s later than the pre-launch TLE's indicated (for the 8:30 UTC pass over the UK) I updated the pre-launch TLE (by adding 50s to the Epoch time, and re-calculating the checksum) and the doppler correction on the following pass was much better. I guess the orbit may be slightly higher than predicted, resulting in a fractionally longer orbital period. 73s, Simon. G7WIQ
