[amsat-bb] Re: PCSAT restoration maybe

[Nate Duehr]

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...
