Hi all- A new version of the TQSL config file was just updated. AO-85 is now listed. Update your LOTW config file and you should see it. Sean Kutzko Amateur Radio KX9X
In all the hoopla over all the new sats, it's easy to overlook Sean's timely efforts to get these new sats into LOTW. In the past it took Patrick weeks and months to get some action from the LOTW crew.
Now, thanks to Sean, it’s a matter of a few days or so...
Thank you Sean for your efforts !!!
73, Ted K7TRK

Very bummed out. So, just has a direct overhead pass. Still not able to decode any data. What was that wide banded high-pitched tone? The tone lasted almost a whole pass without a break. At first I did hear what sounded like a QSO, but almost impossible to understand. Anyone else having the same experience?

I heard the same thing. At first before the pass, I heard CW. I think that was RS-30. However, when the pass started at 00:11 my time here, I heard the satellite carrier. A minute or so into the pass I heard K4KEG calling and made a contact with someone. I didn't hear myself, but shortly the tone mentioned below came on and was on the remainder of the pass.

They tweeted out from @AMSAT that the sat was being switched to high-speed data on this pass.

So, we need to monitor Twitter and this BB to find out what's going on?

Things can change fast. More info sources are better than fewer. I've gotten many good chunks of info on Twitter within 15 minutes of a pass, most notably from portable operators activating a rare grid.

Hi Michael,
Don't be too bummed out. Many experienced operators who have captured telemetry in the past have run into problems. Not everything is plug-n-play and that keeps the fun alive for many of us.
Keep trying. It took me a while to work out the bugs in decoding the high speed telemetry via HDSDR/FUNcube Dongle Pro+/FoxTelem.

Clayton, Did you actually get FCD+ plus working with the telemetry program by itself? If so what was your configuration?
