All, I heard the beacon of the XW1 during the 16:32 UTC pass on 15th Dec.VU2BJZ,VU2WMY and VU2GUR also heard the CW beacon. The signals were good right from AOS to LOS. The CW telemetry said that the beacon RF output power was 123 mw and the beacon power supply was as 0.65 volts. I used the telemetry decode application provided by the XW1 team.
Recording of the telemetry signal can be found at http://vu3tyg.addr.com/XW1/XW1-Beacon.zip and the screen shot of the decoding application showing the data at http://vu3tyg.addr.com/XW1/xw-1data.GIF Congratulations AMSAT China on the successful launch and all the very best for the testing and activation of the payloads. 73's Nitin [VU3TYG] Secretary,AMSAT INDIA www.amsatindia.org ________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
