The XW-1 CW Beacon was heard over North America this morning with an excellent signal and tone quality. It sends a long string which changes a bit on every transmission. The keps are a bit off since the bird went over the horizon prior to the prediction. I lost it when it was still at 2.7 degree

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 doppler tuning: I'm tuning up by

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 MHz.

Wondering if XW-1 was launched. I saw that China has just launched the Yaogan 7 Remote-Sensing Satellite. The launcher, orbit, etc looks right and is pretty close to the previously stated 20Dec data. Any updates out there? 73 Mike WA6ARA ___ Sent via am

Hi all, Just tried to find out how the orbit will look. Very unscientific I just used FENGYUN 3A and modified the Mean Motion to 13.19 orbits per day. Then the height becomes approximately 1200 km. As far as I can find out, FENGYUN 3A was sent up from the same spaceport as XW-1 will be. I used
