[amsat-bb] Re: Short notice: AO-16 to be turned ON during 2025utc 30 December 2009 pass

[w4upd]

Same here. Heard it loud and clear including the initial packet and then 
your signal, but didn't stay up long enough for me to try and work 
through it. Hopefully in the future the temperature and bird will 
improve enough to have it back for a while as we once did. Good try anyways!
