The Orbital mission page has a kmz file you can download and load into
Google Earth to see the launch profile and where to look in the sky:

I heard and recorded now CW signal from PicoDragon,
but nothing heard 9k6 signal from ArduSat-1,X in this pass.

At approximately 1630 UTC on the cubesat internet relay chat
(irc://irc.freenode.org #cubesat channel) I saw a posting of receiving
Pico Dragon:
> UB4UAD cubesat deployed
> TokaiGS PicoDragon signal received just now.
> TokaiGS Decorded "DRAGONVIETNAM5"
Not sure where on the planet TokaiGS is at.

Hi all,
As you may be aware, on the 21st of November, 07:10UTC a DNEPR launch
vehicle will lift off from Yasny Launch Base, Russia, carrying a number
of payloads.
One of them is the Triton-1 satellite, a 3-unit cubesat developed by
ISIS - Innovative Solutions In Space from Delft, The Netherlands.
Note that the Triton-2 satellite is not on this launch, its launch date
is to be determined at this stage. Triton-2 will be similar to Triton-1,
the main difference being that it will also carry an S-band downlink and
associated mode US transponder.
Triton-1 is a satellite which will serve as a test bed for an
experimental receiver, designed to receive Automatic Identification
System (AIS) messages from ships. During the first three months after
launch, the plan is to characterize the AIS receiver in orbit. After
approximately three months of experimenting, we intend to activate a
single channel FM to DSB mode UV transponder (similar to AO-16's
transponder). The exact transponder uplink frequency in the 435-438MHz
band will be announced at that time as well.
We have created an amateur radio information page which contains all
information related to its downlink signals at:
http://www.isispace.nl/HAM/
We intend to publish regular status updates on the AMSAT-BB as well as
on the aforementioned page.
Kind regards on behalf of the Triton-1 team,
Wouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ

Hi Wouter Jan,
On behalf of your near neighbour on the Dnepr launch may we wish Triton-1
all possible success.
Of course we look forward to the completion of its communications experiment
and subsequent use as an amateur transponder!
Please give our best wishes to all the Triton-1 team in Delft and I must add
my particular thanks to you for support and encouragement that you have
personally given the FUNcube team during the project.
best 73
Graham
G3VZV for FUNcube-1

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
With a lot of upcoming launches: Are you ready ?
Myself, I just installed SDR-Radio.com, from http://www.sdr-radio.com/
Works excellent (so far) with my 'old' FunCube Dongle. SDR-radio.com is free
for the FCD.
This SDR SW is running here on a 10 year old Windows XP PC (cool: this SDR
SW does not hog down the PC!).
For simplicity reasons I always use the HO-68 CW beacon (435.790MHz) for
validation of my system: antenna tracking, SNR of the downlink signal,
doppler correction etc. When either the antenna/pre-amp/receiver/kepler
set/computer time/.. is not correct you immediately notice this test to
fail.
SDR-radio.com provides perfect dopler compensation: the entire pass of HO-68
I did not hear a single shift in frequency (with an extremely narrow
software CW filter).
The set-up: 435MHz antenna = 16 element DK7ZB, horizontal polarization
(only). Plus an SSB pre-amp. For 144MHz I will use a 2x6 element DK7ZB (also
with an SSB pre-amp). Antenna tracking is my 18 year old home-build
microprocessor system that controls the Kenpro rotators: the KR400 and
KR500. Not sure if I will use the SDR set-up (wider rx spectrum, can record
and analyze later) or the ('good old trusted') Kenwood TS2000. Trusted as
in: less configuration options (compared to SDR), so less errors I can make
(read: the trust statement reflects on the operator (me), not the equipment
of choice).
Anyway: I am very interested to learn about your plans, are you ready for
the new sat's:
- receiver (hardware of software) ?
- antenna (directional or not during the first passes)?
- good/bad/funny experiences you want to share?
- ..
Looking forward to hear from many stations sharing their plans here on the
BB!
Henk, PA3GUO,
