08.01.2011, 11:50UTC, FM Reception: more Confirmations
Orbit #2668, JA0CAW, JA1GDE, JA6PL, JH1BCL from Japan
confirmed successful contact on FM 145.980MHz with TIsat-1 HB9DE.
05.01.2011, 20:42UTC: FM Reception Confirmed
Orbit #2629, HB9AUS confirmed successful contact on
FM 145.980MHz with TIsat-1 HB9DE.
Decoding table for TIsat-1 beacon messages: 437.305MHz
During the early days of
TIsat-1 mission, during the day the beacon continuously sends the
message "HI HI HI TISAT" followed by a Morse character indicating
the temperature of the transmitter. The beacon is turned off
during eclipse to avoid stress of the batteries. This message is
repeated each 15s and is encoded with 17 WPM. The radio used as
beacon has been completely developped at SUPSI with the help of
local HAMs. The encoding of the temperature is reported in the
next table.
