FREQ is 437.605 (corrected)

Object is 44355

I captured objects via VK6HAM at 151929 to 152812 for PSAT2 and for USNAP1
from 151803 to 152711 showing USNA P1 about a minute ahead of PSAT2.

It is only alive for about 60 to 70 minutes when in the sun apparently by
looking at the T# telemetry count.

Standard 9600 baud AX.25.  No special software.  Just need raw packets.on
447.605

PSAT2 and USNAP1 were delppyed together and have identical external shape
and so should be in same orbit, but due to mass differences, USNAP1 should
be LEADING PSAT2.  We need to know by houw much.  Since PSAT2 is likely
object 44354, and 44355 is very slightly leading (by 1 minute) that could
be it.

So what do we need to copy the downlink data??   Is there an app or is it
straight ax.25 packet???
