[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 reloaded and operational

[Matt Wilbur]

I agree, THANK YOU very much to the AO-51 team for your efforts.

Based on this news, I'll be operating from S7 (LI75rj) on AO-51 
tonight/tomorrow on three AO-51 passes, the first at 07/0106utc, at 
07/1154utc, and 07/1333utc.

73,
Matt Wilbur
NM6W / S79RC (through 8nov)

We often suspect the South Atlantic Anomaly as the cause, and based on the time frame of the crash this time, it is a plausible hypothesis.
