[amsat-bb] FUNcube-1 / AO-73 glitch + commanded reboot

[Paul Stoetzer]

I heard Paulo's QSO with WA5KBH at my AOS and called CQ for the next
three minutes until the satellite entered the sunlight. The satellite
sounded perfectly normal.

And now we are beyond the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere,
so available transponder time on weekday evening passes will start to
increase.

73,

Paul, N8HM
