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

[Mike Lucas]

This concurs with my observations the past couple of days also.

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.
