[amsat-bb] AO-27

[George Henry]

Used to be one of my favorite satellites...  My son wrote a nice Java app
that ran on any platform and would give the transponder schedule, current
and future.  

Haven't corresponded with Michael (N3UC, control op) about it since probably
2014...  thought they had given up trying to recover it.

It's been active at times; apparently a work-in-progress.

Here's the most recent update I've seen, from a tweet this morning from
KE8FZT (@AndrewBNortham):

------
Nice clean telemetry sounds from AO-27! Almost went back inside then N3UC
turned on the voice repeater! Thanks for the QSO!!! Another new bird in the
bag. Only heard one other op on the pass... He was only turning it on at 1
minute increments...
