Hi all,
Listened for ARISSat-1 at 0605 hrs GMT here in Wales -UK.
This pass was a low angle but I had no problems in hearing the
transmissions on 145.825 Mhz, the satellite sounded very healthy and the
voice and
SSTV very clear indeed.
"My sincere congratulations" to all concerned and of cou
Latest UK pass 06.08utc could just hear my own CW using 50W to a collinear.
Excellent!
No go with SSB though but hardly surprising I suppose given my antenna.

The switches were all placed in the "off" position after this morning's aborted
launch attempt. According to the audio of this afternoon's launch, they were
turned back on prior to release. Sadly, no live video of the release, but they
supposedly were taking pictures.

Dave will only need to have the GPS at *one* location, which will be
the intersection of the 4 grids (40 degrees North, 124
Still happening! Might get released soon.
Last comments from narrator was maybe whip is coiled up inside antenna base

Clint Bradford,
