This week the Peruvian Chasqui-1 was launched on August 18 at 1423 UTC from the ISS. I have added CHASQUI-1, Cat # 40117 to this week's KEP distribution. "Chasqui-1's beacon on 437.025 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler shift) can transmit either 1200 bps AFSK AX.25 or 9600 bps GMSK. As of August 19, the beacon had not been heard."
