I tried earlier today with a handheld Arrow II yagi connected directly to WBX. I could hear it but it was too weak to decode. A bigger yagi should give sufficient signal. In case you receive, it is very easy to decode the telemetry. It uses 1200 bps AFSK FM modulating the carrier, so a simple NBFM receiver and the audio fed to e.g. multimon (http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/linux/multimon.html) works. Decoded telemetry can be submitted to the ops team at http://beacon.engr.scu.edu/Submission.aspx Have fun!
