XI-V satellite launch - Request for reports

As you know, the new launch date of our second cubesat XI-V (and also SSETI Express) is being set for October 27th at 06:52:26 UTC

We really appreciate if you could receive the first signal from XI-V and send us a report.

To encourage you to receive the signal of XI-V, we decided to present a special T-shirt to the first three people who get the CW signal from XI-V. This T-shirt is designed with a lot of pictures taken by our first CubeSat "XI-IV".

If you have heard the CW signal from XI-V and hope to get the T-shirt, please report to us the received data through the report form below:
http://www.space.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cubesat/upload/xi5report-e.aspx

The first three (that should be certified as XI-V signal by us) will be selected, taking into consideration where you receive the signal.

Except the T-shirts for the first three radio operators, we will send verification cards to all those who have received the signal from XI-V. If you have caught the signal from XI-V and hope to get a verification card, please state so in the 'Comment' section of the report form.

The details of this campaign will be on our webpage very soon. Again, we are really looking forward to your report!!

CubeSat XI-V
Telemetry 437.345 MHz @ 1200 baud FSK
