Receiving Amateur Radio Cubesat CO-55 on simple equipment

Bruce VE9QRP has made a video available showing how to receive the Amateur Radio Cubesat CO-55 on an FT-817.

On the Google video site Bruce writes:

"This is a demonstration of a simple amateur satellite experiment using a minimal antenna.

"In it I use a FT-817 radio to tune in the CO-55 Cubesat's 100mW beacon in morse code around 437 MHz. The satellite is setting on the other side of the wall seen in the film at an elevation of around 20 to 2 degrees."
