Request for reports of Kagayaki signals

As yet nothing has been heard from the Kagayaki Amateur Radio satellite launched last month. It should be transmitting on 437.375 MHz.

Kagayaki was launched along with four other Amateur Radio satellites on January 23.

Masa JN1GKZ has posted the following request on the AMSAT Bulletin Board:

KAGAYAKI command station and related stations are still looking for KAGAYAKI.

KAGAYAKI was to transmit Morse code on FM after separation form H-2A but nothing heard until now.
The command station conjectures KAGAYAKI is transmitting Morse code on FM or 9600bps packet at 437.375MHz. The command station also conjectures the output power is very low because of not expanding antenna and solar panel. Command station is trying to watch KAGAYAKI using FFT spectrum analyzer.

Object D is estimated as KAGAYAKI. Please watch KAGAYAKI and let me know if you heard her signal. I'll pass the info to command station.

English web site is now available.
