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

[cjhurst at bigpond.net.au]

Burns and Mike,
My telemetry downloads suggest back on the 1st February it was around 125
milli-watts.
On the 13 February it had been running 75 milli-watts for some time.
Then on the 14th February it dropped to 13 milli-watts.
May explain why it has been tough going the last two days.
All days quoted are GMT days.
73 Colin VK5HI.

Could you take a look at the "measurements" page on the HuskySat tab and
click on "RF Power" to get a graph of the power that you have been
receiving?  Mine varies between about -77.5dBm and about 60dBm, (of course
it changes during a pass) but I don't see much of a difference in the last
day or 2.

Thanks...
