OK, apparently Genesat is operational.
How about Sapphire? NO45. I saw a report on dcarr's web page about 3 days ago, but no reporting callsign was given so I could ask for confirmation. Its AMSAT web page is very much out of date too... As the launching party, I will get this corrected and declare sapphire as dead unless someone has info to the contrary.
I tried to connect to it today with zeero response.

The AMSAT SATS page says that GENESAT-1 is operational It is not listed on D Carr's web page as being reported by anyone. We listended for it with a class of students today and heard nothing at around 11:15 EST.
Google finds nothing but reports of OPERATIONAL, but then none of them are newer than January 08.
If anyone else can confirm that it is non operational, then
I'll
inform the AMSAT web site guru to remove its operational
status.
Thanks Bob, WB4APR
