[amsat-bb] VS-14 -Sentinel-1B and cubesat launch

[Jean-Pierre Godet]

   Hi, George,

   I heard OUFTI-1, and once again on the last pass (orbit nr 21) on 
145.980 MHz.
   In fact I found the bird 3 kHz lower than expected, something like 
145.978 MHz near the max elevation, perhaps because my preliminary tle 
is not accurate and then my Doppler shift correction is too late : to be 
confirmed.

   73 !
