I began by modifying a 27 MHz O2A CB to work on the RS 29 Mhz band. I then recorded onto audio tape the morse code signal from the satellite as it made its pass overhead. I then fed that audio CW redording into the CWget software and it decoded the CW or morse code into the text below.... Click here for Windows Media Audio Recording of RS12. 181 kb. The doppler shift of the signal is very apparent. I make some corrections.

I then manually, using Notepad, put each data on its own line, such as,

RS 12 CW Telemetry first processed by the prototype VK3UKF RS translator program.

The final display.

This software was nearing completion when the spacecraft was destroyed by a solar flare in late 2002.
