Suitsat-1 heard 09:17 UTC !

Hello all!

Positive report from DL0WH (Clubstation Weinheim)
0917 UT : clear over noise, girl's voice: 'This is suitsat-1'

We have it on video tape and just play it back and forth, but even audible if retransmitted over 2m local http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

In addition strong QRM once every 5 sec from a local station trying to uplink on 145.990.. stupid !

For the second half of the pass also QRM by local cable network leaking here in the 2m band..

SuitSat-1 went silent after two orbits, apparently due to frozen batteries.
So early "heard" reports don't help. Anyone interested should check the AMSAT web page for current status of any satellites.
