[amsat-bb] Lituanicasat-1 Working Well

Hi Ted,
Add the following line to Doppler.SQF somewhere in the data section (use 
paste and copy):
LO-78,435175.5,145950,FM,FM,NOR,0,0

I don't know whether the frequencies are exact. To check that (while the 
sat is in range) click the SatPC32 control "V" to "V+", then open menu 
"CAT" and with the "Downl. Corr." controls correct the downlink 
frequency and save the found value in Doppler.SQF.

You may also add the following line to AmsatNames.SQF:
39569 98067EN  LO-78

Then the program will display  LITUANICASAT-1 as LO-78 if you use a Keps 
file that still uses  LITUANICASAT-1 as satellite name, for example the 
Celestrak file cubesat.txt.

Both files can be opened and edited from the SatPC32 menu "?", 
"Auxiliary Fies".
For detailed instructions read the FAQs file (sect. 1a) with a tutorial 
by Wayne Estes, W9AE.

73s, Erich, DK1TB
