[amsat-bb] Kolibri 2000 Heard in Florida

["Keith O'Brien" <n4zq@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Claudio IK1SLD alert and Ib OZ1MY frequency posting, Kolibri was 
heard in Florida this morning. After not hearing anything on 145.825 durning 
the 04:15 UTC pass last night, this mornings AOS occured at 12:27:36 UTC 
March 20 on 435.331.5 MHz. The CW signal was very strong, and appears to be 
some sort of telemerty information. I copied the following CW text durning 
the short pass.

ITXB 0
PTXB 0
TTXB 129
TFLV 113

Interesting to note that the Orbital Information Group (OIG) at NASA has 
added as of this morning, a new unknown (UKN) object catalog number 27394. 
Could this be Kolibri? Will have to wait and see as no Keps have listed yet. 
  They have also updated the listing of decayed objects to include the 
Progress-M1 7 (26983) which Kolibri hitched a ride on. It appears they are 
on top of things.

Good SWLing and I will continue to monitor both 145.825 and 435.33?.. Keith
