- received telemetry beacon and strong signals with W-LAN panel antenna (77k) @ ALON/ALAT 0/0 (photo: spring 2003)
- UO-11 2.4 GHz dish feed (96k) (2.25 turn RHCP helix) useful with AO-40 at ALON/ALAT 0/0 (photo: spring 2003)
- during orbit 1362 (ALON/ALAT ~21/0) the post-apogee pointing provided better signals due to shorter slant range
- listened to strong SSB, CW and SSTV signals all morning in my living room using this (94k) setup, through triple glazing !
- even listened to occasional strong signals with this (52k) 2.4 GHz RHCP Quadrifilar Backfire Helix
- most amazingly, this omnidirectional antenna could pick up FEC corrected telemetry from AO-40
- the complete setup of QBFH (84k) and modified Drake 2880 converter
- dimensions of the reworked S53MV GPS QBFH modified for 2.4 GHz may be found here (10k)
- screenshot of the StaRCV FEC decoder (77k) software showing error free telemetry packets
- this in spite of heavy local microwave oven and W-LAN background hash and interference :-)
