Amateur Radio Satellite to Flash Morse Code on Christmas Eve
FITSAT-1 plans to use LED’s to signal in Morse code
On Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) the Japanese students who built FITSAT-1 are planning to active the satellite’s LED optical array and flash a message in Morse code to Earth. The Morse message may be visible to the unaided eye.
According to Takushi Tanaka JA6AVG the students plan to start testing the optical system at the end of November.
The FITSAT-1 CubeSat was developed by students at the Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT) in Japan. In addition to the LED array it also has a CW beacon on 437.250 MHz, a data link on 437.445 MHz and a 5840.0 MHz data downlink.

Pete Sipple M0PSX who runs the Essex Ham and FrequencyCast websites received this Slow Scan TV (SSTV) picture transmitted by the amateur radio station on the International Space Station on Friday, November 9.
After being tipped off via the ISS Fan Club website that SSTV was active, he calculated a suitable overhead path and connected the audio output of his 2 metre rig to the soundcard on my PC, and tuned in. The frequency in use for the downlink was 145.800MHz, and he set up a digital recorder to capture the received audio.
