Hi Joe, HO-68 info is here: http://www.camsat.cn/index.php?lang=en
Mode Beacon (23 dbm (200mw)): Downlink:435.7900 MHz CW The transponder is 1W it says, so not as loud--but it's CW so it's reasonable to copy! Good luck...I see a report that they heard the CW BEACON. 73, Mark At 12:58 AM 1/16/2011 +0000, Joseph Holman wrote: >I have a pass in about one hour now from near Seattle. > >Since, I've never used HO-68, is the beacon: Downlink 435.7900 MHz CW ?? > >Btw, how does the typical beacon signal compare to the typical transponder >signal folks have?
