I haven't look closely at this, but do we know EiRP from this bird?
I'd most likely use an MTI flat panel 10 GHz antenna I have to track it
initially depending on the link budget. The flat panel has 25 dBi gain
so about 8 degree beam width. It could make tracking easier...
I'm unsure what I'll use for a receiver yet. I do have a modified
European LNB that uses 10 MHz GPS lock. SDR IF's are not a problem. I
probably would use my ADALM-Pluto as that can be GPS locked as well.
Then no guessing on frequency. We'll see.

on over this part of the planet I'll be using a 68 x 61 cm offset feed dish
and initially just let the satellite fly through the beam. If I see a decent
signal I'll get serious about trying to track it.

It appears as if Funcube went bye-bye....interesting.
I am using SDRPlay RSP2 Pro to see the RX of the Sats via HDSDR. SDRPlay
connected to Lindenblad ant which is blocked by adjacent structures left /

Before we make too many assumptions about the FCD, we should ask Howard
directly. I have done so, and will report if and when he responds.

Received a reply from the TTU100 point of contact:
<snip>
Thank you for good wishes! Unfortunately the control software of X-band
transmitter is still not ready, so the transmitter will be silent in the
near future. Hopefully we manage to activate the X-band transmitter in
beacon mode first. Most probably it will take several months. I will let you
know when you could try to receive X-band signals.

So, it looks like we have a while before there will be X-band signals.

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Really weird, it is working here in the UK
I used both Firefox and Edge and both worked although they now report the
site is not completely secure due to images.
Just wondering if it is being blocked by something else outside of the UK.
If you can't access his site directly, there is a UK Hamstore selling it

Hope that helps

I went to the site for information and it appears to be gone and up for
sale.

Did the supplier go out of business or discontinue sale of the product.

I heard back from Howard. He says the site should be back up (probably
takes a while for the domain to spread around to all the name servers). He
also said:
Meanwhile, we?re out of stock for a few days, demand over the past few
months has been nearly double the usual run rate, and without a crystal
ball it?s impossible to predict! One of the parts for the current run was
on an unusually long lead time, hence the gap in stock, otherwise we?ve
been lucky despite the current situation. They?re on the production right
now, and I expect to have new stock within a week.
