Heard what appeared to be TW-1C on its 13:48 pass over central florida this morning. Some digital 9600 data and short continuos beeps. Nothing decoded. I just opened GoSatWatch on my iPad and noticed that TW-1C was automatically added to its list. And, it was just about to come over the horizon. After some quick Googling I found the frequency and dialed it in. Can anyone enlighten me with more info on this bird and its sisters 1A, and 1B? Thanks

Dani,

Thanks for the report. I have gotten a few questions about using it for satellites, and want to have some solid info.

73s,

Alan WA4SCA
