[amsat-bb] AISAT-1 WORKING OVER NA

[Will Marchant]

I had an overhead pass this morning and had two packets break squelch on 
my Kenwood TH-D74A with a Diamond SRH77CA "somewhat long" rubber duck 
antenna.  The packets did not decode so I don't know for sure that they 
came from the bird.

I was using the "AIS & APRS & ARIS & R/B" elements (44104, 19018AC) 
elements from http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/tle-new.txt

I'll try with an Arrow antenna tomorrow...
