Hello,
first of all my congratulations for the succesfully launch of CAPE-1.
Today I could pick up some CW telemetry pieces.
I used TLE for OBJECT J (NORAD 31126).
At 18815 UTC I picked up
k5usl 3000004000004e ie tir (last characters in higher speed)
..d00ffff00000000e it.
I decoded also the mp3 file of Mineo (JE9PEL, posted in AMSAT-BB)
This was bad audio quality but could read the following:
Mineo abt. 1210 UTC
k5usl .ffffe2e0e1e1e003ffe ie tsr
k5usl 3000700...300e ie orx
I will listen carefully to the next pass over europe (2020 UTC - overhead pass).
My equipment:
YAESU FT-736R,
2x10 El. X-Yagi WX220 WiMo, 12.3 dBD
2x20 El.X-Yagi 435HS20 MASPRO, 13.4dBD
Preamps for both antennas
Az+El rotor KR-5600
TNC-2
My QTH is abt. 60km near Frankfurt/Main, JN49LR
Thank you very much and I will keep up to monitor your satellite.

Subject: [amsat-bb:97874] CAPE-1 Tracking
From: Jonathan Wagner
To: amsat-bb
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:18:42 -0500
Hi all,
We are trying to gather a full snapshot of 3 CW beacons from CAPE-1 to
get an idea of the health of the satellite. Part of the problem is that
we don't know exactly where CAPE-1 is located. TLE's are available on
W0RPK's website http://showcase.netins.net/web/wallio/CubeSat.htm about
half-way down. We managed to hear a weak signal starting about 435.254
MHz and ending around 435.237 MHz tracking object #31126. We've
obtained some information that CAPE may actually be a little behind this
one even, but we're not sure.
The satellite is transmitting CW and 9600 baud G3RUH, but currently we
are primarily interested in the SSB CW. Also, if you have the
capability any recordings are more than welcome. Recordings can be sent
to jonathan@..... If the recording is too large, send me
an email and we'll figure out how to get it across. The CW beacon we
are looking for the most is the beacon 1 which gives us an idea of
battery health. The telemetry format is available at
http://ulcape.org/wiki/CAPE1_Telemetry There are a few audio examples
at DTUsat's webpage http://www.dtusat.dtu.dk/index.php?id=94 The second
file labeled Unknown.wav is what the G3RUH data sounds like in SSB mode
and has been confused as the letter N. After that signal ends, the next
CW beacon is about 10-20 seconds away.
The satellite is transmitting at 435.245 +/- doppler. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Again any recordings or decoded telemetry can be
sent to me at jonathan@.....

just now.

P-POD A, B, C are the old predictions.
so I could hear CW in the early stage after the launch.
But CW can't hear any longer by these keps.
The most recent keps will be available from NORAD,
Space_Track, or W0RPK's website.

Mineo,
We were able to hear CAPE using the P-POD C kep predictions for tracking.
However CAPE was trailing even those and we were able to get a stronger
signal by going to manual control and correcting from the calculated az-el.
Hopefully we'll have better tracking information soon.
Thanks for tracking CAPE.
You were one of the first solid reports we received.

We're still not sure which object CAPE-1 is since we haven't heard
it recently. We think 31122 (OBJECT F) is P-POD A with CP4,
Aerocube and Boeing's cube. Tethers Unlimited's MAST was detected
using tracking information for 31126 (OBJECT J). OBJECTS L, M and N
are believed to be the P-POD B group CAPE1, Libertad1 and CP3, but
no good contact has beenmade tracking these. A station in Denmark
reported hearing something from the L/M/N cluster but nothing
decipherable. If anyone on here has time and a station set up for
tracking, any help finding the cubes is greatly appreciated.
The latest we were tracking was an older version of this TLE.

The interval is a little more than 10 minutes.
I received Libertad in the last pass at 1935UTC but now 2118UTC.
So I think there is an additional offset per pass ?
I used the Keps for NORAD #31129 and center frequency of 437.405MHz
(AFSK, FM). Could decode the packets 3-4 KHz lower.
