Hi Dale.  I heard sputnik on two of three passes by my location today.

1134 UT - no luck
1310 UT - good luck
1800 UT - good luck

>Is 145.825 the correct frquency?

Yes that is the right frequency.  Doppler shift +/- 3kc

>What is the power of the transmitter?

250 mW

>Is this an "exact" duplicate of the original Sputnik?

1/3 size replica.

>How long is it project to be operational?

Good question ... it is battery powered.

Hope this helps.  I've learned this much from ASMAT and SEESAT.
