AO-27 recovery operations underway
From the website (http://www.ao27.org/AO27/)
Oct 29th, 2013 Recovery operations are underway again for AO-27. We will try to keep the website up to date with any infomation. - Michael, N3UC
We could definitely use another FM bird, so let's hope they are able to get it going again. Maybe I'm a good luck charm - I just sent a QSL card to N5TRR for my last QSO on AO-27, just minutes before it failed last year, stating "Last operational orbit of AO-27" in the comment field. I'd be happy to be wrong about that!

With this information,
I thought, lets update the TLE data for AO-27. But when I queried the space-track database I got another name for norad-id 22825 ?
0 KITSAT B 1 22825U 93061C 13304.75582515 .00000229 00000-0 10682-3 0 5154 2 22825 098.6342 247.4246 0007462 243.1674 177.4743 14.29604597 48145
Strange, in amateur.txt via Celestrak it says
EYESAT-1 (AO-27 1 22825U 93061C 13304.75582515 .00000229 00000-0 10682-3 0 5154 2 22825 98.6342 247.4246 0007462 243.1674 177.4743 14.29604597 48145
Seems a glitch in the space-track database ????

Thank you for the updates on AO 27, I would appreciate more information on how it worked and frequency range.
Looks like it would be another great tool in the classroom teachings by the K4AMG club.
So if either N8HM, N3UC, or N5TRR could fill in the blanks it would be great.
God Bless
