[amsat-bb] ARISSAT-1 report

Hi All,

Just popped outside from the IARU Region 1 Conference meeting to catch an ARISSAT pass.

Good signals with an Arrow and a FCD and also using a G0MRF prototype filter amplifier with 5v being supplied by the Dongle. (Thanks David for the loan)

Voice telemetry reported MET of 41 mins - which corresponds very well to when it left eclipse over the Pacific. Battery volts 35.74 and current -4ma

I just failed to identify a ZS station using the transponder!

The signal had no fading but several occasional ~ 100 msec breaks in transmission were noted.
