Anybody know the frequencies used? If Kate is transmitting at 1 watt from space, that can be picked up quite away from the launch site. Ham radio guys communicate via cubesats that are orbiting, all the time, and those are usually only 500mW, and from 8 miles up they are easy to recieve and transmit to with a handheld and a Yagi antenna. Once you've got the ultimate high-ground the recieve footprint is usually pretty wide. Just curious as I'd love to be able to pick up these things when they are happening.
