[BLT] Success!! Rice BLT Heard ~403.2 WFM

[MacAllister, Andrew [EPM/HOU]]

1358 Hrs - Houston - I-10 and Bunker Hill
 
I am not sure of the actual launch time, but I am currently receiving the
wide FM signal ~403.205 MHz.  There is plenty of QSB, but the fidelity is
excellent on the Yaesu VR-500 with 19" whip.  It sounds a lot like
UoSat-OSCAR-9, back when that satellite was active and transmitting 300-baud
telemetry.  A tuned directional antenna for 403 MHz would certainly help.  I
could not get any readable reception using narrow FM.
