[amsat-bb] BIRDS-2 Packet digipeater

[Ryan Noguchi]

 I had inquired with the BIRDS-2 team a couple of weeks ago and their response was: "The ISS digipeater aliases (APRSAT or ARISS) will work or BIRDS2 CubeSat callsigns as well (BIRDPH, BIRDBT, BIRDMY)." 


Earlier today, I submitted requests to the Heavens Above and AMSAT sites (pass predictions and OSCAR status pages) to add those three satellites to their sites. I couldn't find any contact info for the ISS Detector Android app.

 The packet digipeater beacons on all 3 Birds-2 satellites have been turned on. They were  very strong  the last 2 passes over the western USA. frequency is 145825 FM .. Hopefully  they will turn them on for 2 way use soon.    JACK  KC7MG  DM42
