Recommended Satellite Transmitters for Station Performance Benchmarking

A few known-good satellite transmitters to test with with (as of November 2020) are:

For a station operating on the VHF Band:
  • NOAA 15, 18, 19- The APT transmitters (very strong signals - considered to be the 'hello world' of satellite observations)
  • ISS - If operating, the APRS transmitter is very strong, but may only transmit intermittently throughout a pass.
  • CAS4A / CAS4B - Continuous CW and GMSK transmitters - a good example of a 'weaker' cube-sat signal.
  • Max Valier Sat - Another weaker CW signal.

For a station operating on the UHF band:

  • FalconSat3 - The FSK downlink transmits continuously, and is an excellent benchmark for overall station performance. A high performing station may receive upwards of 600 data packets in a single pass.
  • SpooQy-1 - Regular GMSK packets.
  • OPS-SAT - Regular GMSK packets, fairly strong.
  • ARMADILLO - A higher data rate signal, requiring a fairly good SNR to be able to decode the (hillarious) 19.2kbps GFSK packets.
  • LUSAT - CW Signal Generator in space. Continuous, strong signal.
