NG-23 / SilverSat

Brazil :brazil: is in on the action !!

A few minutes ago, during this cold early morning here in Brazil, I finally tried for the first time to receive some signal from SilverSat.

It wasn’t a very favorable pass for my station, but wow, that satellite has a strong signal. I received several SSDV image packets, and after a few minutes struggling with Direwolf and using the ssdv-x86.exe that came with the HADES-SA utility, I finally got my first image from SILVERSAT :star_struck::star_struck:

I also received a strong CW signal at the end of the pass, but wow, I need to sleep now (It’s almost 3 AM here :rofl:). I’ll post an update later with the CW signal.

Thank you @isaacschofe for scheduling this transmission for the Brazilian part of South America, and I hope to have more opportunities to receive more images :zany_face:

:pencil: Edit :

I received the CW beacon at 2026-04-15 04:36:44UTC saying:
