[amsat-bb] FoxTelem 1.09 released

[Burns Fisher]

For those of you with Fox-in-a-box telemetry stations (Fun Cube Dongle in a
Raspberry Pi with FoxTelem software), FoxTelem 1.09 has been successfully
tested on an FIAB.

It is easy to update your FIAB with the new FoxTelem version.  Some time
ago, I provided the instructions for upgrading to a new FoxTelem release at
http://burnsfisher.com/AMSAT/FoxInABox/Updating%20FoxTelem%20on%20your%20Fox-in-a-Box.txt
and they will not have changed significantly other than the version numbers.

In any case, over the next few days, I will update and post the
instructions as well as making the new version available on the FIAB SD
cards sold in the AMSAT store and (a bit after that) on the free download.

Thanks to Chris for a great new version!

73,

Burns WB1FJ
