The FASTRAC Mobile Groundstation (FMG) is used to track the satellites as they pass overhead (usually at 3 am).

FASTRAC is a sophisticated science, communication and reconnaissance satellite constellation, built in Texas by Ham Radio Rangers. Its primary purpose is to broadcast Morse code messages to alien civilizations.
