Dave,
We are welcome to do the emails until PCSAT-1 dies again. Probably by the end of this week or so..

The experiment has been a success. And PCSAT-1 is still fully operational, but it is in eclipses now and will have a hard time supporing the load. For this reason, today we changed the digipeat path of PCSAT-1 to only use the path VIA TEMPn-N. (Usually use TEMP1-1 or TEMP2-2).
This change will prevent any unattended beacons from consuming precious power on PCSAT-1. The PCSAT-1 downlink alerts all active users of this change. Today, PCSAT-1 had crashed over the USA due to heavy load. Fortunately I saw the crash and was able to re-load during the same pass.
But if PCSAT-1 crashes back to W3ADO-1 and is not reloaded before the next eclipse, then PCSAT-1 will again be lost until January.
Enjoy, but please use PCSAT-1 with minimum packets. Bob, WB4APR
