[amsat-bb] First Satellite Contact for WA9PIE

[Michael Carper, Ph.D.]

Thanks, Les.

For the FM birds, it works right now (save for one minor uplink frequency
thing I'll release a fix for within the next day or so).  I haven't checked
it with the linear transponder birds yet because I think we've got a manual
tune item to address.

All the LOTW upload stuff works right now... but it's manual entry and it
leave open the possibility of the user putting "AO7" in that field (which
LOTW won't accept) rather than "AO-7".  We're tending that soon as well.

Mike, WA9PIE
