Hi all,

It appears over the past few months, control operators have been working on

the old bird as seen here http://www2.umbrasi.com/ . Im still not sure if

its fully operational yet, im going to listen for it tomorrow, you should

do the same too. As for keps, im using the keps generated off of N2YO, not

sure how accurate they are but im using them. Looks like they finally got a

update in, as its been over a year since the last update :). Let everyone

know on the BBS if you hear it or not. I have not talked on this satellite

for 5 years now! Hopefully more memories to come.

AO-27 Turned on today. Seems good on the bootloader

If anyone has contacts into CelesTrak to get AO-27 back into the

amateur.txt file it would help some of the control operators stations.

Our e-mails have gone unanswered.
