Because the visible circle is small, I checked it with SatEvo.

Re: GQRX ...2019年11月06日 20時16分

I have been worried for a long time because the reception sensitivity
of GQRX on LINUX suddenly becomes insufficient. This problem was solved
by exchanging the line connecting the SDR dongle MCX(J) and the end of
the coaxial cable MP.

I have been receiving well the signal since I exchanged from the next
No1 line to No2 line. It seems that poor contact of No1 line was the
cause of poor sensitivity.

Mineo,

On many days, only one or two DTUSat-2 beacons at my QTH.

Today, 06-11-2019, first beacon did not transmit until 62 degrees
elevation just before TCA followed by 6 more full or partial beacons.
Yesterday, 05-11-2019, low pass with multiple beacons.

Attachment 1, 05-11-2019 at 5 degrees just before AOS.
              My antennas are only 2.4 meters above ground so signal
              was being received through buildings and trees. 
Attachment 2, 06-11-2019 at 71 degrees. Very strong signal.
Attachment 3, 06-11-2019 at 72 degrees. Very strong signal.
Attachment 4, 06-11-2019 at 52 degrees. Waterfall shows data
              burst after end of CW beacon.

Signal strength seems to be normally good. Beacons are very intermittent.
DTUSat-2 is a great signal to track on 2.4 GHz.

73, Mike (K9QHO)
