[amsat-bb] Chasqui-1 Cubesat

I'm not that optimistic, I'd have expected Chasqui-1 to start transmitting within a short time of deployment much like ARISSat-1/KEDR, it looks like the CubeSat is unable to transmit.

The video at http://amsat-uk.org/2014/08/15/chasqui-1-deployment-from-iss/ appears to show the antenna deployed so perhaps there is a battery or other issue.

Checked both 437.025 and 145.800. No ISS packet, either. I am assuming it
was turned off due to the EVA.
