Hi Takushi, All set here. We had a brief rain shower, but everything was covered in plastic, so no problem. Mike - Original Message - From: tan...@fit.ac.jp To: Mike Seguin N1JEZ n1...@burlingtontelecom.net Cc: amsat-bb@amsat.org; fits...@hotmail.co.jp Sent: Saturday, November 10,

Hi Takushi, Some success this morning. I received only 2 data bursts. It started to rain and I had to cover equipment. I did receive the first data burst at 11:32:37.5 so your timing is very good! I synchronized the clock on my computer with NTP about 1/2 hour before the pass started.

Here are two IQ RF wave files that can be played back in programs like HDSDR. They are the full 96 kHz bandwidth. The first file is about 18 MB and is the first detection of NIWAKA. The second file is 3 MB and shows the Doppler near the end of the 2 minute window. The 5.84 GHz signal Doppler
