    AMSAT-EA GENESIS Satellites

    After a year waiting, finally this Friday, September 3, at 01:00 UTC the digital GENESIS satellites are expected to launch from Vanderberg AFB
    aboard Fireflys Alpha rocket in its maiden flight.

    These satellites are ASK (OOK) and CW repeaters. They transmit a lot of telemetry and also 19 different CW greeting messages in English and Spanish.

    We would like to ask you all to please try to receive them as any
    information about their transmissions would be very valuable for us. These
    are the first satellites we build by ourselves and we need to learn
    everything we can of them. Waterfalls, audio USB receptions or IQ files
    would be very appreciated. Please send them to genesis@amsat-ea.org or to ea4gqs@amsat-ea.org. We will send you a nice QSL.

    Initial keplerians are listed below. We expect to provide accurate ones a
    pair of days after the launch.
