[amsat-bb] Re: Cal Poly's CP6 Satellite Launching May 5th
All, yes it is a real challenge - but I heard many beacons from CP4 long time ago (sometimes in 5-minutes interval !) The most important thing is to listen to CW header (6 seconds) - in this time you can adjust the frequency and catch the packet burst. I hope it's the same like CP4 A running spectrum analyzer software is very helpful. So you can quickly adjust the frequency to the right value. Some older CP4 reports on my website http://www.dk3wn.info/sat/afu/sat_cp.shtml It's in German but I think you can understand the way I went. Another way is to record the beacon and then analyze the burst with MixW. There is an CUSTOM AFSK mode. Keep my fingers crossed and best 73, Mike DK3WN -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] Im Auftrag von Bill Ress Gesendet: Sonntag, 3.
