SSETI Express released 3 Cubesats - they are
in a similar orbit to SSETI Express:
XI-V on 437.345 MHz using 1200 baud FSK with
CW on 436.465 MHz, the easiest to recive
NCUBE2 on 437.305 but not heard. This one will
be very tricky since it transmits every 2 minutes (but with 1.5 watts).
UWE-1 on 437.505 is running 9K6 FSK but again
very tricky since its a 1 second burst every minute.
