Here is a link to all information the CAPE Team currently has for tracking
the Satellite. A program will be released in the next few days to decode
data.

On behalf of the CAPE-2 Team, we would really appreciate any data you can
relay to us on the satellite.

of the just launched satellites that are send data 1200 BPSK .

Good evening,
Just after AOS on AO-7 this afternoon around 2117Z, I heard a station
calling with the suffix RAS. He never was heard after that. I was just
curious who that could have been. I assume it's a station from South
America and I heard him just before his LOS. Anybody have any ideas?

Mike,
Thanks for the explanation on using the FUNcube Dongle
with an FT-817 (or other radio). That makes sense, and
will be something to think about. First, I want to use
the dongle as is, to see how well it works on its own.
Then I might consider the mod to the 817 and using it
with the dongle.
73!

Hi Rob,
Please don't be worried by this activity, we are just doing some testing of
different groundstation equipment at various locations to establish the best
operating procedures. This will enable us to ensure the future health of the
spacecraft over time.
We are not trying to make any actual changes to the current operating
schedule.
thanks

Dear friends from University of loisiana in Lafayette,
Your bird was heard in the North of France when flying over Oran
(Algeria), orbit number 204, especially the CW beacon (on 145.823 MHz +-
Doppler) between 12:12:52 and 12:13:06 UTC, content was "EUL CAPE 2 OR
UF231". The signal was somewhat chirpy, but it's exactly the sound which
the real lover of CW like above all. Really ! :-)
http://f5yg.pagesperso-orange.fr/forum/CAPE-2_orb204_03dec2013.mp3
The signal to noise ratio is not too good because I'm using an old AM/FM
scanner from the 80s heterodyned by my medium wave homebrew transmitter
fitted with a 456.9 Xtal. The antenna was a vertical half-wave inside the
attic.
The next orbit, number 205, was heard too, with the CW beacon affected
at that time by a hoarse voice and suffering from a strong fadding. So I'm
not absolutly sure, poor lonesome telegraphist, of my human decoding,
"M5UL CAPE 2 ?R 5045", something like that. It was over the East coast of
Spain, between 12:12:52 and 12:13:06 :
