RE: [amsat-bb] SSETI Express over West Malaysia at 0301Z

["Sion Chow Q. C. \(9W2QC\)" <9w2qc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the information, Ken.  The website is really fine. 

Hello Group,

I just had another pass of 21 degrees elevation.  This time, I tried using
object A as it was in the middle between the preliminary keps and object J.


A CW signal on 435.325 +/- (im not sure on the center frequency, but I
entered 435.325 into WISP) was heard very strong this time, and its Doppler
was very accurate to that predicted for object A.  I have recorded this
signal, and will post the link here shortly.

However, I only spend about 35 seconds of the pass listening to this signal.
The rest of the time was spent listening to SSETI Express at 437.250 +/-,
which unfortunately nothing was heard again.  Good luck and hope to hear
SSETI express come back to life very very soon.

73,
Sion Chow Q. C.,

Someone posted this link to the CubeSat page:

http://littonlab.atl.calpoly.edu/pages/missions/sseti-express-2005/command-c
enter.php

In the XI-V section, under "Detailed Beacon Transmission and Contact
Information" there is information indicating the CW beacon is sent about
every 30 seconds. It only has 80 mW output!

Hello All,

I just had a 20 degrees pass of SSETI Express over West Malaysia at 0301Z.

Unfortunately, nothing was heard on 437.250 +/-.  At TCA, a CW signal was
heard briefly at 435.318.  The next pass will be at 0438Z with an elevation
of 21 degrees.  Will report any findings again here.  Good luck.

P.S. XI-V seems to be very weak on 437.465 +/-. Can someone advice me how
often is the CW beacon transmitting?  Thanks.

Sion Chow Q. C.,
