[amsat-bb] AO-51 update

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

Tonight I turned on the SQRX receiver and the 1268.700 BBS uplink, and 
lowered the power on the 435.300 transmitter to compensate for the extra 
power the receiver uses. Currently 435.150 is at 400mw, and 435.300 is at 
700mw. Together the transmitters are drawing 1.06 amps continuously.

I've seen the comments about running the S downlink for a week every month. 
Thanks for the input, and please remember to send those suggestions to the 
ao51-modes at amsat.org address as well. In the past we have tried to run at 
least a week per month of S downlink, except when circumstances demanded 
otherwise. Over the next 9 months we will be trying several new things, 
sometimes on short notice. Please keep an eye on the AO-51 webpage at 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/CTNews.php, ANS news bulletins, posts to 
AMSAT-BB, and AMSAT on Twitter for updates and information.
