Hi Carl ! MCubed RAX use 9k6, you see that in an SDR, but don't really hear it. Aubiesat is CW, but relative weak. I would start with Explorer 1. Explorer-1 uses 1k2 and you can clearly hear that in USB or LSB. Also its signal is relative strong compared to the other sats. Finally,

Hi Carl, sorry for the delay in answering your questions. I agree with Henk - the best way to start is with E1P. This cubesat is very strong and easy to decode. Momentarily I use succesful OBJECT F with an center frequency of 437497.5 KHz in USB mode. I am sure that E1P belongs to the first

Hi Doug, KE4MSG Since OSCAR-6 and all LEO satellites I have used north center rotors with limit swiches operating on south and I got problems pointing exactly the antennas during the ascending orbits when the satellite comes from south. If you use south center rotors than the limit switches will

Nope. Hamsphere is an internet chat system with an interface that looks like a radio. Echolink has real radios connected to it and is usable, through a repeater for instance, from your VHF handheld. *Hi All, Was wondering how the Weekend Symposium went? Also, downloaded a software program call
