Alan Kung, BA1DU, provided China AMSAT's (CAMSAT) frequency and mode
information for the September 19 launch of mulitple satellites on Beijing¡¦s
new Chang Zheng 6 (CZ-6) rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
Estimated early Keplerian elements for a September 19 launch are:
XW-2(CAS-3)
1 99999U 15262.96885748 .00004985 00000-0 28395-3 0 00005
2 99999 097.4712 270.8252 0010383 266.0522 270.6644 15.12847565000015
Launch time was planned for 23:00:00 UTC on 2015-09-18 with deployment
of the
satellites at 23:15:14 UTC. Technical difficulties postponed the launch
until
23:00:00 UTC on 2015-09-19.
The ARRL posted a Word Doc with frequency information from BA1DU at:

AMSAT-UK has a link to this document at:

The XW-2A through XW-2F satellites are using the same type of antenna.
These
are quarter wavelength deployable monopole whip antennas and made of steel
tape, including a UHF uplink antenna and a VHF downlink antenna for each
satellite.

although the actual orbit is reported to be running approximately two
minutes
later than the estimated Keps.
