Thanks! This is the first indication I have received that PCSAT-1 has reset. I have a pass coming up and I will try to recover it. Yes, you are correct, that no one should attempt to digipeat using the W3ADO-1 default callsign since it means PCSAT-1 has defaulted back to negative power budget.

I set up to transmit through PC Sat today at 1655 UTC only to hear the W3ADO callsign (;-( It seems lots of stations still use the bird when she is defaulted to W3ADO, I turned off TX but I got to thinking the stations that are using this sat may not know that they should not be using it under that call.
Does
somebody tell them (Via Email) the error of their ways or are they allowed to go on as they are? Just a thought.
