Report a Beacon here (QSL's available for first 100 contacts!)
We Need Help! We are looking for ham radio operators who can listen for our satellite's beacon, which will be broadcast at 437.505 MHz immediately after launch. The beacon is sent in plain text over AX.25 every 5 minutes, and anyone listening with a TNC in connectionless mode should be able to pick it up. No software/formulas/decoders are necessary. Please subscribe to our mailing list to receive announcements including launch information. Report beacons at http://cubesat.ece.uiuc.edu/BeaconForm.html. Send questions to cubesat AT ece.uiuc.edu with your name/location and any data that you receive.
