On the AMSAT Bulletin Board Yasutaka JR2XEA writes:<\/p>\n

Komaki Amateur SATCOM Club has an amateur radio station in Komaki City, Japan.<\/p>\n

The 50 kg class infrared observation microsatellite \u201cZ-Sat\u201d developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will be launched by the Epsilon rocket on October 1st.<\/p>\n

After satellite separation, Z-Sat will start transmitting CW beacon of VHF band.<\/p>\n

The beacon signal is in Morse code and contains information such as satellite battery voltage.<\/p>\n

This information is very important as survival information immediately after the satellite is put into orbit.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you can receive the beacon signal from the satellite immediately after the satellite launch,<\/p>\n

We would appreciate it if you could report it.
