I hope somebody will find usefull the PstRotator program. It can be downloaded
from

Congratulations to the XW 1 Team. This is going to be a wonderful bird

Hi all,
Can confirm Christians report. CW beacon on.
Had to go down on the downlink frequency. To start with
- 600 Hz when using USB.
Had to follow down during the pass until TCA, then up again.
Used an additional - 2.1 kHz at TCA.
Keps may be a little off.
Nominel published frequency 435.790

Listening to this pass right now, using Mineo's keps. Quite audible
with very few fades from 5 deg. with a 1/4 wave vertical and a
mast-mounted preamp. Telemetry does have a 5 second period about every
minute or so when it goes off. The keps are not yet suitable for

Don't bother with HRD if all you want it for is satellite work. HRD's
satellite function is a bolt on to the whole suite; SatPC32 is the tool
for the job, has the most excellent back-up service from its creator and
is of benefit to AMSAT.
Nuff said!

If my numbers are correct, this bird is certainly much higher than AO-27 and
AO-51. At an orbit 800 miles above earth, this will stretch the footprint a
bit further east for those needing KH6 on the birds. Let's hope for more
activity from KH6!
