This site seems to have problems; the 'status' page does not
have any data and the other pages have little useful information
and don't display well on NS 7.2 or in limited color resolutions.

Please see http://www.utarc.org/wiki/index.php/Icarus_X
instead.


I caught the balloon's position report in CW earlier this afternoon on
10125 lsb.




Caught them at 2205 on 10125. Interesting.


Now barely copying (seems about 10wpm, down in the mud), here in No. MN.
at 17:05 CST.


As per data on the above 'wiki', the payload transmits CW at five-past
the hour amongst other times (which I did not know when I heard the signal).
Been quiet here since 17:05 CST

Regards,

Michael
