[amsat-bb] BY70-1 Last Chance Western USA

[Greg D]

Ack!  First 2/3 of the pass my downlink was mis-programmed.  Sorry if I
QRM'd anyone.

W5SAT got in the log; I also heard VE4AMU and a YL KD6-something (you
were clear, but there was a short drop-out over your call suffix).  Then
it was over.

Will try again at 11:37pm tonight.
