In his blog Nader Omer ST2NH notes the large number of satellites carrying amateur radio payloads that are expected to be launched in the next two weeks.
There will be an estimated 34 new satellite downlinks to be received with two of the satellites also providing 435/145 MHz linear transponders for SSB/CW communications. It will present a considerable challenge to correctly identify all satellites and match them to the NORAD Two-Line Element data in the days after deployment.
In a single week in November we should see:
• November 19-20 ISS CubeSat deployment
• November 20 Minotaur-1 launch
• November 21 Yasny Dnepr launch
Mineo Wakita JE9PEL has produced a list of frequencies of the satellites carrying amateur radio payloads that are planned to be launched in November.
