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.

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).

Heard here as well at 2335... but copy is not so hot. Had to review my tape several
times to send lat, lon, and alt in another report.
