PSAT only has a 300 mW transmitter and so is much weaker than other similar sateliltes. And since it puts all its energy into its PSK31 Ten meter to UHF downlink transponder, it shuts off the digipeater when power is low. And that happens every month or so.

The NO-84 Digipeater on 145.825 Mhz is on as of 2019-02-16 22:14:55 UTC. Enjoy it while its on. The Digipeater will be on as the power budget permits I presume. http://www1.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi?absolute=1
