Cal Poly requesting beacon capture help

Jason Anderson, KI6GIV, at California Polytechnic State University is requesting amateur radio operators worldwide to assist with capturing the telemetry of the Cal Poly CP4 satellite.

Jason wrote, "We have seen some unpredictable behavior on our satellite, CP4. Since we only have contact with the satellite once every 12 hours, it would be extremely helpful if we could get some global support with collecting beacons to get a more complete picture of the the satellite's health."

Please send any collected data (audio or decoded binary) via email to: jander06@calpoly.edu
