AO-51 is sending digital frames.  The trasmitter is in a low power mode so 
the satellite can make it through eclipse without the batteries discharging 
too much.  TXA currently is 310 mW.
It is challenging for me also, easy for the modems to lock on to the clock, 
but difficult for the entire packet to come through error free.
This is a good opportunity to try receive station improvements.
