Members of the Harbin Institute Of Technology Amateur Radio Club BY2HIT receiving LilacSat-2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On July 10, 2016 the amateur radio SSB\/CW linear transponder on the student built satellite LilacSat-2<\/a> was successfully tested.<\/p>\n

LilacSat-2, call sign BJ1SI, was built by students at the Harbin Institute of Technology and launched on September 19, 2015.<\/p>\n

The 40 kHz wide SSB\/CW transponder is Non-Inverting which means the Doppler shift of a signal going through the transponder will be twice that usually seen on Low Earth Orbit inverting linear transponder satellites.<\/p>\n

Clayton Coleman W5PFG<\/strong> reported that he and Glenn Miller AA5PK<\/strong> had a contact through the transponder, a recording can be heard at

The transponder frequencies are:
\n\u2022 144.3425-144.3825 MHz Uplink
\n\u2022 437.180-437.220 MHz Downlink
\nIt is not yet known when the transponder will be activated again.<\/p>\n
