Successful launch of Amateur Radio CubeSats

Following Wednesday's successful PSLV-C14 launch, telemetry has been received from all four Amateur Radio satellites.

The launch took place at September 23 06:21 UTC from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. By 12:00 UTC Wouter PE4WJ had reported that signals from all 4 satellites had been received.

When listening for the satellites remember that the frequencies can vary +/- 10 kHz of the nominal frequency during the pass as a result of doppler shift.
