$50sat 70cm Technical Challenge for Radio Amateurs

The $50sat PocketQube satellite team, AB2S, KD8QBA and GW7HPW, are celebrating 90 days in orbit by proposing a technical challenge to all interested radio amateurs.

Anyone that can demonstrate a successful $50sat command uplink (437.505 MHz +/-9 kHz Doppler shift) by submitting a recording of the response packet along with the date, time and location of of the contact will receive a Certificate of Technical Accomplishment signed by all three builders of $50sat.

Submissions can be made to the $50sat email address; 50dollarsat at yahoo.com

This is a significant challenge because there is no magic black box that you can buy to do this.

For Listeners QSL cards are available to anyone that posts telemetry, either hand copied CW or RTTY captures, to the 50dollarsat yahoo group.
