[amsat-bb] Falconsat-3 pass attempt.

[tjschuessler at verizon.net]

Hi all,

Am trying to figure out this Falconsat-3 digipeating thing and have ben on
several passes this Saturday morning with only N1RCN heard early.  I would
like to give this a try on Sunday morning in what would be for me, a 1125Z
high elevation pass.  I think I kind of now know how to reply to calls, if
my Kenwood is set up with the phrases that Patrick Stoddard suggested, but
am not sure how you throw out a general call.  I have beaconed but never saw
my call sign come back from the satellite.  Should I see my call come back
if I hit it?  Is this really APRS beconing or standard Packet that we are
supposed to be doing here?

`This is definitely not an EASYSAT but I like the challenge.
