Amateur Radio Cubesat Launch Successful
All three P-PODs on the Dnepr launch were deployed successfully. Four
of the seven Cubesats in these pods are Amateur Radio satellites, they
are
CalPoly PolySat CP3
436.845MHz (1W) 1200bps FM AFSK AX.25 (Part-5 experimental license)
http://polysat.calpoly.edu/
CP3 will only transmit on command from CalPoly GS
Forward reception and telemetry reports to polysat@gmail.com
CalPoly PolySat CP4
437.325MHz (1W) 1200bps FSK AX.25
http://polysat.calpoly.edu/
CP4 downlink is FSK - use SSB mode to receive
FSK data at 2min intervals preceded by CW ID
Telemetry decoding software will be available via TBA
Forward reception and telemetry reports to polysat@gmail.com
University of Louisiana CAPE-1
435.245MHz (1W) 9600bps FM FSK AX.25 and CW telemetry
during opposite 30sec intervals using call sign K5USL

Ralph Wallio, WØRPK posted this email to the AMSAT-BB reflector
about the initial reception of telemetry from the satellites:
Ian Ashley, ZL1AOX, reports the first successful reception
and reporting of LIBERTAD-1 telemetry:

Multiple ground stations have heard but not demodulated telemetry from
LIBERTAD-1 and CAPE-1 including CalPoly (first), AAU-Denmark, G3ZVZ-UK
and IS0LNF-Italy.
