Thanks for the info Trevor. That is sure too bad to hear. It was a nice
satellite while it lasted.

We will be floating a buoy with APRS transponder from Barrow Alaska in
March.
Any hams up there to listen to it directly before the ice melts?
Then after it begins to drift, we will need AMSAT hams anywhere in Alaska to
capture any packets on 145.825 via ISS. The ISS gets to 1.5 degrees
elevation once a day up there.
If you know someone not on this list, can you pass this along?

Although the article only mentions that hams used the satellite as
well, South Africa AMSAT shows that it remains unavailable.
Presumably, it now joins AO-51 and HO-68 as silent birds.
