Hi All,

Interesting article in the news today about NASA requesting help from 
amateur radio operators with an effort to record beacons from their 
nanosatellite which has finally started working.

"Amateur ham operators are asked to listen for the signal to verify 
NanoSail-D is operating. This information should be sent to the 
NanoSail-D dashboard at: http://nanosaild.engr.scu.edu/dashboard.htm. 
The NanoSail-D beacon signal can be found at 437.270 MHz."

You can read the full NASA press release at:

I figured some of you would find this interesting or might even like to 
participate!
