Hi, what’s the best way to receive a CW signal?

I have an RTL-SDR and an SDRSharp.

Hi I use a program called SDR Console https://www.sdr-radio.com/console

Connect your antenna to the RTL-SDR connect this to your computer then set the frequency of the satellite you wish to receive. You can record this In sdr console.

I also use my Satnogs ground station this is probably the easiest way.

CW beacons: how to receive and read them

You see a CW beacon falling down on your SDR’s waterfall and want to get it decoded (for uploading)? Record the pass in SSB (LSB or USB) [SDR reception] Use the spectrogram view of an audio editor (e. g. ocenaudio) [audio editor] Mark the beginning of the beacon and add the displayed time to the one of the filename (usually the beginning of the record in UTC) to get the timestamp. Decode the beacon by looking at the spectrogram. s ... 1 .---- 5 ..... e …

Thanks dl7ndr.

I’m new and don’t know much about amateur radio.

To get a QSL card APRS Degipeat, I understand you have to transmit and receive a signal? or is enough to just receive someone’s signal via satellite?

I know my questions may be stupid, but I don’t know much about all this yet.

@luki

is enough to just receive someone’s signal via satellite

yes. its enough

[dl7ndr]

It’s the operators’s decision. Just ask them.
Could be different from satellite to satellite.

Received a beacon today. No other stations heard, and couldn’t confirm my own digipeat.
