[amsat-bb] HuskySat-1: Telemetry, "FWD Power"

Hi Chris and Roy,

Subjective observation is that my received signal seemed weaker for the 
past 2 or so days. The antenna I'm using is a 7 element yagi on 435.800 
at 20 degrees fixed elevation on a TV rotor. I've only been able to 
capture fewer than 50% of the packets compared with reception earlier in 
the week.

I live on a 100% wooded lot (no leaves since its winter) but all the 
trees are frosted ala winter wonderland style from passing weather 
systems since last Thursday. The trees introduce a lot of variability in 
my received signal depending on which tree I'm pointed at. But my 
received signal on 435.800 has been noticeably lower even at the "good" 
patches of sky.

My HuskySat telemetry at 2125Z said Forward Power = 13.4 mW.
