June 19 last I heard. On Monday, 5 May 2014, 19:28, Paul Stoetzer <n...@arrl.net> wrote: Agree. It isn't quite as loud or as easy to get a signal into as VO-52, but it's very close.
I had a 70+ degree pass yesterday and my return signal was S8 with 500 mW to an Elk antenna. Unfortunately, all I heard were people trying to find their signals until the end of the pass. Looking forward to the FUNcube-2 payload on UKube-1 and the FUNcube-3 payload on QB50p2, apparently both launching June 19th, but I see conflicting information about the DNEPR launch for QB50p1 and QB50p2 (with a FM transponder from AMSAT-F). Can anyone confirm that date? 73, Paul, N8HM On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 12:52 PM, D.
