ExoCube CW Beacon
14:54 UTC XO3
ExoCube Object E
… can confirm that ExoCube is Object E
TLE lottery -> EXOCube
At the moment I would say EXOCube is neither Object B nor Object C.
OBJECT B

ExoCube CW-Beacon
08:57 UTC CW-Beacon and 9K6 packet weak signal
EXOCube received no decode
EXOCube RX 01-02-2015 17:09 UTC
I had a high pass and only concentrated on EXOCube. Below the result. The signals are weak, very weak. Logan Sisca decoded the beacon based on an earlier IQ analysis.
Logan wrote: “I annotated ExoCube’s Morse code beacon. Very neat! Great job receiving the transmissions.”
Firebird 2 / Exocube weak
22:16 UTC Firebird decoded but Exocube !!! not decoded
