Radio amateurs asked to help receive CUSat

Alexandra Abad, who is studying Mechanical Engineering at Cornell
University, has asked for the help of radio amateurs around the world
to try and detect signals on 437.405 MHz from the student built
satellite CUSat

She writes:
I’m a current member of CUSat at Cornell University. As you may know,
we are a student-run team, winner of the University Nanosat-4
competition  and recently launched with Falcon 9 in September. We have
currently been having issues hearing CUSat and would appreciate any
help!

Below is some tracking information:
• Beacon Downlink Frequency: 437.405 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler Shift) FM
AX.25 packet radio
• Beaconed Callsign: BOTTOM
• FCC Callsign: WG2XTI
• Data Rate: 1200 baud
• Modulation: AFSK
• Transmit Interval: Every 1 minute
• RF Power Output: 2.2 W
• Antenna Polarization: Linear
• Real-Time satellite Track http://www.n2yo.com/?s=39266&df=1
