[amsat-bb] Looking for info on AO-6

[Greg D]

Given the historical issue with AO-6 not staying on, simply listening
will probably not suffice.  I expect it needs to be commanded on, and be
sane enough to comply, in order for us to hear anything.

But, yes, could be an interesting thing to try.  AO-7's command
processor was still somewhat functional, if I recall.  Now we just need
to figure out how to send the commands...
