Listening to OSCAR 100


The new Geostationary satellite OSCAR 100 is now up and running and the narrow band down-link can be heard online here... https://eshail.batc.org.uk/nb/

The up-link is at 2.4 GHz and the down-link is at 10 GHz.

Anytime I've listened during the last week, there has been a small number of signals on the down-link. There has been a lot of hype about this particular project although I'd wonder about how popular will it be?

The coverage footprint is shown below...
