[amsat-bb] A new 400bps telemetry beacon now on!

Golly, that brings back memories. 

I used one of those made for TV big ugly dishes to receive AO-40 since I got that dish for free. I was the az-el rotor via the Armstrong method. I ran a long wire for an extension speaker out by the dish. That way I could tune the beacon in the shack and trot out to maneuver az-el for the strongest sound. 

Heck, if it wasn't too windy I didn't need to tighten the nut down on the bottom of the dish. I did keep a wrench back there with my speaker though. I left the dish pointing at that spot in the sky when the signal disappeared like a memorial ;-)
