I heard the CW beacon here in EL98oj from 2244-2246 UTC. AOS/LOS times
are probably off a little from the actual horizon times since I was
manually searching with the antenna without any keps.
Congratulations to the HITSAT Team!

Subject: [amsat-bb] HITSAT copied in EL88pg
From: "Andrew Glasbrenner"
Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 18:54:58 -0400
Congratulations to the HITSAT team!
I copied the CW beacon from 22:42 at ~437.280, 22:44 at 274.3 (just after
time of closest approach), and 22:45:45 at 268.2. I was busy pointing and
tuning, so didn't get any of the telemetry, and Mixw didn't either. There
is a bit of a gap between transmissions which makes tuning and pointing by
hand a bit tough, especially with no keps ;-)
The signal was quite strong at times, up to s9 or so on a M2 30cp and
Landwehr preamp.
Looking forward to 1200 baud data from this satellite hopefully.

I to 'copied' HITSAT from here in West Central Florida. AOS at 22:43
on 437.275 (because that is where the receiver was set to) with a
solid S9 signal.

Agree with Drew, the long gaps in transmission made for tuning and
copying a bit hard. Hence, the there are gaps in the receive data
while looking for the signal to reappear.
Good Luck HITSAT. Looks like you got a SAT that's a HIT...

Hi All,
4 deg pass in California at 00:18 UTC AOS about 3 S units over the noise,
the long gap between
groups makes copy interesting with the Doppler.
