He iGated 484 pSat telemetry beacons last year.
Let's reach out to him.

See the coverage map for the APRS satellites on 145.825.  There is a hole
in Central America where the telemetry from these satellites can go for
almost three full orbits and not be captured.  All the rest of the world
is covered.

We'd like to fill that hole!
