Hi Dennis & Roy,
Herewith two small KISS files I was able to collect from SEDSAT earlier
today 29th. These are from passes I monitored starting 0202/0349/0536 UTC.
The equipment here uses an analogue AFC driving click steps on my 70cm
RX (TR851A) as there is no CAT capability. Because of the 1sec click steps
the short duration of the regular 1 minute transmissions mean that I sometimes
don't get RX tuning optimum during the burst of data. When I do get signals
they are usually strong so I get some data.
In my situation I still use PB as I dont find WISP of any value, as my PC
is running my antenna switch control program plus PB, both running under
DOS and I havn't enough memory to run Windows and hands too shaky to use a
mouse reliably!

I use electronic antenna steering of a variety of horiz & vertical antennas
as I have heavy obstruction by bush in some cases up to over 20deg el in
parts of the compass, plus some high houses close by, and the antennas are
distributed all around the house roof to get a view in specific areas!
Not ideal QTH but I have been working satellites since Oscar 1!

Will have another go today UTC 30th, and might do better this time.
