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 seehttp://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


Heard here at 2315 UTC.

I heard them at 2335 (actually, it was at 2337 utc, assuming my
computer is keeping the correct time).

Doh! Turns out it was my computer's clock that was fast. I just
checked it against the official us time on the web.
