[amsat-bb] AO-40 & AO-16

[w4upd]

Wonder if anyone has taken a shot at trying to see if AO-40 could be 
activated or even heard. Whether anyone may have heard its local 
oscillators? Stranger things have happened (AO-07 for one).

Also, does anyone know when or if AO-16 can be activated again in its 
basic boot loader as it was some time ago. Its communications in the 
mode (FM/DSB/AM) worked really great. However, I believe there was a 
time issue due to sun angles. Wondering if we are getting close to that 
time frame again?
