[amsat-bb] Standard for AMSAT status board observations of FS-3

[Ryan Noguchi]

 I've read this document before and it doesn't really answer my question; that's beyond the scope of the document's intent. However, I trust your operational experience that the flood of (primarily) PFS3-11 packets is the manifestation of specific PBBS operations that can only be initiated by user command sent via the uplink. 

Thanks and 73, Ryan AI6DO

 Hi Ryan,
Extra! Extra!  Read all about it ;)   https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/FalconSAT-3-Status-Packets.pdf
The "flood" is from a ground station requesting a directory update and/or a file download.  Specifics in the above PDF will spell it all out.

 So, to be clear, you're saying that the flood of PFS3-1, -11, -12 packets is only initiated by a PBBS user's uplink, and is not autonomously initiated by the satellite based on time, location, insolation, or some other stimulus that is not communicated to the satellite via the 145.840 MHz uplink, correct?
