Dear Friends,
It is really a sad news. Bidding a farewell to AO-51 with a very heavy heart.
Looking at the success, we all at Upagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC at
ISRO Satellite Centre and AMSAT-India express our heartfelt and
sincere thanks, appreciations and compliments to the entire AO-51
Hello
I was a hardcore user of AO-13 back when I was in Puerto Rico, but AO-51 was my
favorite satellite mostly brcause it was easy to work and did it from my car.
Most of my QSO on it was on my drive back home from work. And it was fun to do.
So sad to see it go, but it was fun and the memorie
Made my first satellite contacts to K4DLG (SK), KD8CAO and N3TL in Oct of 2008

AO-27, 10.4% on SO-50.. the balance on HO-68, SO-67 and ISS. What a blast!

My gut reaction is the reversed cell failed again, this time to a dead short,

Listening to the recording, I think I copied the repeater ID to be KB4PTJ.
The call is of that of a repeater owner and he lists repeaters on 70cm and
6m, and the 6m machine is using the PL 91.5 so perhaps his machine was just
linked to another machine. After the repeater IDed, I copied one of the

team.
Let me relate a few things about AO-51 and where we are headed.
Cell 3 has reversed, or shorted. Without the ability to record WOD

The most simple and direct thing to do in many aspects of life: Just ask!
And, if a reasonable and respectful request, you usually get what you want.
Just my opinion, of course. I may be wrong.

That is called "stealing" another's work.
SEND N2YO AN EMAIL - and ask him for what you would like. What is wrong with

I had sent him a small donation earlier this year.
>> where to get N2YO widget???
Donate a little money to N2YO via Paypal, and then ask him for a copy.
