I am at the DM51bx/DM52ba grid boundary now, and

originally planned, before going to DM53 this evening
on my way home.

Hello,
the data file "Program.SQF" of SatPC32 v.12.8b includes the program names

As Steve says, providing turnkey communications is of significant interest,

Yes,
Kevin, point made. The only way we can change that is by working
closely together with these projects and having a tangible influence

Stefan,
I believe that AMSAT-NA plans to offer semi-complete communications packages to

Hi Lynn,
Many thanks for your comments.
Good point, although the contacts are normally closed, and open when the
motor over-runs. So the usual problem of poor contact wouldn't apply.
However, it's possible that the contacts may have welded together.
