I thought this would interest the list considering the recent conversation on VO-52 and FM vs. SSB modes. After CAPE-1 disappeared for a couple days, it decided to make it's re-debut on VO-52's transponder. They just happened to be in view as CAPE-1 came out of eclipse and decided to wake up again.

Hi Jussi, That sounds interesting :-) CAPE1 - one of the cubesats just launched April 17th transmit at 435.245 MHz with CW (HEX data). We have not heard it since April 18th ? I just checked and they can "see" one another. 73 OZ1MY Ib ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jussi Liukkonen" jussi.liukkonen@pp.inet.fi To: "Graham Shirville" g.shirville@btinternet.com; "OZ1MY" oz1my@privat.dk Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 6:33 PM Subject: CW telemetry

Lo Graham and Ib!

Was just listening at VO-52 (23rd April 1620z).

At 145.900 I could hear for about 1 minute cw telemetry. It was of the

type

that FO-series satellites uses (FO-20, FO-29).

I was too amazed to write it down except for a short period which said:

055FF00000

Is there any satellite that sends cw telemetry on VO-52's uplink (435.250 plus minus doppler)?

Or has some satellite broken down and started sending on wrong freq? Or

has

VO-52 started sending cw telemetry?

cheers, Jussi OH5LK
