Hi all.... I noticed on SATNOGS that QBEE had no data added for a few
days, so looked this morning and saw no signal,The following Sat's decoded
fine so not the set-up. Any Issues with QBEE ?

Heading to the Land of Oz Friday after work ... to work another DM/DN grid
line - just south of the Nebraska border.
Will be on everything I can reach from there Saturday ~ 1300-1900 UTC.
If you need Nebraska, send me private email and I'll move to DN90 for a
pass.
Here are the endorsements and new VUCC Satellite

Subject: [amsat-bb] D-SAT Mission
Dear Sirs,
my name is Alessio Fanfani; I'm a young telecommunication engineer and an enthusiastic Italian satellite amateur (callsign IU5CRE).
Three years ago I started to work with D-Orbit, an Italian aerospace company, on an ambitious CubeSat mission called D-SAT.
D-Sat is a three-unit CubeSat designed, built, and operated by D-Orbit and it will be the first satellite in history that will come back into Earth's atmosphere in a safe and controlled way by means of a dedicated solid rocket motor and burn up instead of becoming new debris.
D-SAT was launched on June 23th, 2017 into a 500 km sun-synchronous orbit from Indian SHAR.
D-SAT is now fully operative in orbit and it is hosting three communication experiments in collaboration with an Italian university, high-level schools and a local hamradio community.
For more information on D-SAT, you can visit the mission's website (www.dsat.space), where you will also find a page entirely dedicated to radiohams (www.dsat.space/radiohams) where you can download the software necessary for the reception of D-Sat's signal.
We really hope you will consider joining us! Also, should you have any question about the mission, don't hesitate to ask!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Alessio Fanfani, IU5CRE
