Aihnss.173 net.ham-radio utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ihnss!karn Tue Oct 27 21:55:10 1981 Uosat telemetry info available I have written a C program that decodes Uosat-Oscar-9 telemetry. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to mail it.

I would like to maintain a list of recipients so that I can send corrections and/or updates. If you get a copy of my program through someone else, please let me know so I can send you updates. I'd also like to know who is listening for Oscar-9 and how much interest there is in it.

For those of you who haven't listened yet: The new Oscar is audible on a 2-m HT using a rubber antenna! (Not inside buildings, though). Listen on 145.825 Mhz, afternoons between 2pm and 4pm, and you should hear the spacecraft.

Other items of interest to Uosat users: 1. I successfully copied 1200 baud ASCII telemetry last weekend. Contrary to published specs, the spacecraft does NOT seem to invert mark and space tones relative to the lower (<=300 COPIES DR. ORBITAL INFORMATION. PROGRAM THESE TRACKING.
