Re: [amsat-bb] PSAT is ON circa 9:10 AM PST (Dual hop testing?)
Robert NcHale KE6BLR has turned on PSAT for digipeating. I have no idea if it has the power budget to support it, but we will see. If the telemetry counter gets above 90 (minutes) then it is surviving eclipses See http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=psat,psat-1&time=1&start=1...
Have fun. Try some double hops from ISS to PSAT using the path NA1SS,PSAT
If you simply used APRSAT,APRSAT, then PSAT might digi the first hop too and then be clobbered when ISS also does it. Then the second hop will not go via PSAT beacuse by then it is a dupe.

Hi Bob!
I tried NO-84's digipeater just after 8.15pm Eastern time tonight (0015 UTC Sunday). It came by about 15 minutes before the ISS. A quiet pass, with only one other station on. The last telemetry packet I picked up at 0022 UTC had #184, so I think it is holding up for now...
I didn't try a double-hop. I was just hoping it would still be active, and it was. Once it was up from the horizon, it was easy to copy for most of the pass here in central Arizona.
73!
