[amsat-bb] AO-16 back on and very strong

Thanks to the control station turning AO-16 back on. Heard the sequence and then the bird was really kicking butt on its signal. I lowered my power to 5 watts and was still banging in and this with some very "bad" verticals that I have difficulty with on the other birds. Heard to satellite quit during the pass and then obviously, control station came back and turned it on again. Other then some "junk" only a couple of stations were on.

I had a choice of AO-16 or SO-50. No brainer, stuck with AO-16. Good work fellows,
