[amsat-bb] Re: SRMSat (SRMVU) - Updated Keps

[Mark L. Hammond]

Dinesh,

Congratulations to you and your team on a successful launch and activation!

I am hearing SRMVU pretty well over North Carolina grid FM05pj at
13:53utc 12 Oct 2011.

After the pass, I will send you an email with a link to the WAVE
recording so you may decode telemetry if you wish.

73,

Mark N8Mh
