Does NO-44 (PCSat?) have any kind of functionality still? I don't see it listed in the "Current Status" listings. Steve AI9IN
Hey Steve!
It does show up on FINDU.com with a few beacons and even fewer digipeats:

... but just a few days ago, I see that KC9ELU managed to work through it - quite a feat!!

... however, I have not had any luck with it myself in recent history. Probably should try some high passes now that all the other 2m APRS sats have stopped digipeating for the moment.
