Hi Drew,

So far as I know, Almasat went silent about
a week after launch.

PWsat transmits irregularlly but can usually
be heard every daylight pass.  For what
little I can get from the PWsat web site
(in Polish) it seems to have a power
problem.  
It's de-orbit sail has not yet been
deployed.  No mention on the web site
of when or if the AO-16 style repeater
would be turned on.

Anyone have any news on how these two sats are doing?
