On June 22, 2016 the Indian Space Agency ISRO successfully launched several
satellites carrying amateur radio payloads.

The CSAT Swayam satellite was one of those launched. The 1U CubeSat carries
a digital store and forward messaging system for use by the amateur radio
community.

Rupesh Lad VU2LRD / VU2COE from the College of Engineering Pune CSAT Team
says:

We are eagerly waiting for your reception report of CW Morse Beacon at
437.025 MHz. You can also get the decoded Beacon Data by entering beacon in
Swayam Beacon Decoder available on our website.
