[amsat-bb] DStar Satellite

[Paul Stoetzer]

They sent up a second one and claim that it worked, but there's no
independent verification despite many hams around the world listening
for it.

Also, there is still no entry in the Space-Track catalog for DSTAR ONE
Phoenix, just four unidentified objects from that launch. That
suggests that there are no signals for them to identify which object
they are and claim it.

73,

Paul, N8HM
