Almost didn’t bother with today’s BusanSat pass but even at a max elevation lower than is ideal for my location, the strongest 38k4 S-Band downlink I have seen from this satellite thus far!

… Oh, I did email the address in the payload but no reply (so far).
After several nights of no S-Band downlinks from BusanSat, it was great to see those 38k4 packets again!
… at a max EL of only 57°, I didn’t know if there would be enough SNR to decode anything, but a few were just strong enough.
… I never got a reply from the email address in the payload body, but at least I tried to make contact. Still can’t believe we’re decoding frames from an S-Band downlink; I never really expected that to happen (since S-Band signals are often weaker and/or the modulation is beyond my abilities)!
