[amsat-bb] PSAT NO84 back up

[Robert Bruninga]

DK3WN, Mike informs me that he has commanded PSAT digipeater back on.

It has been in safe mode for almost a month and so, maybe it is time to
bring it back on line and hope that it stays up through Field Day.

Our Naval Academy ground station has been moved to a basement building for
18 months while renovations are in progress, so we are off line and
dependent on our excellent volunteer station DK3WN for the honors...

FalconSat-3 takes a little more to set up on a D72, but it is currently
our only orbiting digipeater on 24/7. NO-84 is occasionally on, and maybe
we can hope for its batteries to be charged enough so a command station
can turn the digipeater on for Field Day weekend.... <snip>
