The Amateur Radio satellite Delphi-C3 built at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands was launched in April. Since then it has been collecting educational research data for use by the university students, with the assistance of radio amateurs around the world. The amateur radio 435 to 145MHz linear transponder onboard the satellite will be activated during the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium. The transponder mode beacon is on 145.870MHz CW. The linear transponder downlink is 145.880 - 145.920MHz and the linear transponder uplink is 435.570 - 435.530MHz. All frequencies are plus or minus Doppler shift that can be up to 2kHz at 145MHz.
