Hello, all!
I've been trying to receive the CW signal from ESTCube-1 for the past few days, but haven't heard anything on 434.25 MHz (+/- Doppler shift).
Is the beacon on at all? Is there a schedule when it is on? Is it on only when the satellite is not visible in Estonia? I'm in Latvia, so – close enough.
In the same time I can clearly see on the waterfall satellite's signal on 434.505, when it's above horizon, but haven't figured out, how to decode it yet.
I've tried listening on high and on very low passes, same result.
The best chances to hear ESTCube-1 CW beacon from that close to Estonia is during afternoon when satellite has extremely low passes close to north direction. In coming days (this week), we plan to update also our groundstation software and I'll try to ask programmers to do it during one good pass close to noon. I'll let it know here if I'm successful or not

By the way, the beacon period is usually 5 minutes now.
About receiving 9600 bps FSK data: Mike Rupprecht (DK3WN) has created nice telemetry decoder for EC-1. See his software page
http://www.dk3wn.info/software.shtml and also for good 9k6 G3RUH-type soundmodem
http://uz7ho.org.ua/packetradio.htm. To connect these two, you most probably should use AGW Online Kiss (this is communicating with UZ7HO soundmodem) from DK3WN. I should also warn that you certainly can not decode all the data because on-board software of the satellite has changed quite a lot since the end of July. But most of the subsystem housekeeping data (which is asked regularly in the beginning and end of the passes) should decode well. Also, keep your eye on the thread
