[amsat-bb] IO-86 added to APRS satellite page

[Yono Adisoemarta]

APRS on IO-86 has aliases of ARISS and YBSAT

The APRS is active on a schedule alternating with the FM repeater and the other primary payload of LAPAN A2/ORARI. Typically one in the morning and another one in the evening.

Please check twitter @lapansat for the weekly schedule.

Next weekend will be the 4th anniversary of IO-86 satellite . Currently we have not observe any reduction of performance of this relatively “high power” (5 watt on both FM Repeater or APRS).
