Thanks to our resident telemery guru Mike Rupprecht DK3WN a new AO-51
whole orbit data (WOD) telemetry decoder has been released!  The file
with decoder and coefficients file can be downloaded from here:

http://www.dk3wn.info/files/ao51wod.zip

The AO-51 telemetry archive is on the AMSAT FTP server.  DK3WN's new
decoder is for processing "raw" WOD telemetry files.  For example, the
WOD data collected for October 2009 is here:

ftp://ftp.amsat.org/pub/amsat/telemetry/ao51/2009WOD/Oct2009/raw1009/


The decoder generates a .CSV (comma separated) file that can be opened
in Excel, etc.  A nice feature is that the telemetry program acutally
graphs the data, too!

THANKS, Mike DK3WN!
