We restored PCSAT on the first orbit this morning at 1315z, but it did not hold. On the next pass at 1500z, the one-good shot at a restoration was consumed by someone still digipeating via W3ADO-1 and his packet took all the power, and our logon was unsuccessful.
Looks like maybe a couple of 'unattended' beacons . . . Maybe someone has an email address or phone number for these guys .??. They obviously have not gotten the word.

I was engrossed in other online discussions today and didn't see this until 4:22 PM Mountain time on the AMSAT-BB list.
I'm pretty sure I can reach Rick KB0VBZ and get his beacon turned off. Will try anyway.
He's local here (moved west into the mountains, but still "local" I guess) and one of the former "lead guys" of the Colorado AMSAT Net.

John (N0VSE), do you have a current phone number for Rick to see if we can get his unattended beacon to PCSAT turned off, so the control stations can get into it successfully and command it?
I can't find one in either of the PC's here at the office, but I might have something at home in CRA paperwork describing how to reach the various Net Controllers for the various nets on the repeater system. I won't be home until well after 6PM Mountain, though.
I'll give you a call too...
