JUNGU received by N8MH on an AMSAT-UK FUNcube Dongle SDR

Radio Amateurs have been reporting good signals on 437.425 MHz and 437.275 MHz from the new Amateur Radio satellites SRMSAT and JUGNU.

Unfortunately due to the 20 degree inclination of the orbit hams in the United Kingdom are unable to hear them.

Mark Hammond N8MH reports on the FUNcube Yahoo group that he has been using his AMSAT-UK FUNcube dongle Software Defined Radio to receive signals from JUGNU.
