Sometime between 1830Z and 2000Z today, AO-51 suffered a software crash. Thanks to K8YSE for the early heads up. Mark, N8MH and myself restarted and started reloading the software required to run the repeater. Until this is finished, I ask that everyone refrain from transmitting to the satellite. Now is a good time to tweak your 9600 baud receive setups, as the digital transmitter is on at about 2 watts.
