Jason Anderson, KI6GIV, at California Polytechnic State University is requesting amateur radio operators worldwide to assist with capturing the telemetry of the Cal Poly CP4 satellite. According to Anderson there has been some unpredictable behaviour on the CP4 satellite. He says that controllers only have contact with the satellite once every 12 hours so it would be extremely helpful if they could get some global support in collecting beacon transmissions. That way they would get a more complete picture of the satellite's health. CP4 downlinks on 437.325MHz using FSK lower sideband modulation. The baud rate is 1200 with beaconing every minute. Audio or decoded binary data along with other reports go by e-mail to jander06<at>calpoly.edu.
