it's not likely to be a mic-e packet because it is not an UI frame but
an UA frame, in this case an ackowladge to a SABM frame or connect request.
RK3KPK connected the digi, but that does not solve who RK3KPK is and why
he did it.

This is not a forum for politics, but a little pressure where it is
needed to promote as much new young blood as we can to get interested
in "launch science and ham radio satellites".........

Masat-1 is planned to launch February 9. A video showing the proposed
eliptical orbit can be seen at
http://www.uk.amsat.org/4119
Telemetry software and a WAV file for testing are available for download.

The IARU amateur satellite frequency coordination panel have agreed
frequencies for CUSat-1/2, planned to launch on a SpaceX mission in October
2012.

Wow, that client software is VERY nicely done. Something to set out there
as a "good example" of what can be done via soundcard decoders and user
interface.
Hope they add more radio control---but probably only there for commanding
version of software (?).
Now, if it could use I/Q right out of the Funcube dongle, we'd be set :)

Wyatt Dirks AC0RA is very passionate about his satellite operations.
Having started with a home brew antenna, he has experimented with
several portable station configurations including LPDA?s, commercial
Arrows, and recently added a 13-element M2 beam.
Just today, January 28, he made a 6,941km contact with ON4HF using
AO-7 mode B. While this is several hundred kilometers below the
distance record for mode B contacts, it is important to note that
Wyatt performed this feat completely portable, without a set of
cross-polarized beams, without automated antenna tracking, and more
importantly ? out in the cold Iowa weather.
He?s recently been making contacts with other stations in Europe.
This does not come easily in a portable setting from the mid-USA
states. Many folks who have been around for a long time, who have
?been there and done that,? may not see this as much of an
accomplishment. I assure you if we had satellites capable of greater
distance contacts, Wyatt would be on them pushing the limits of their
capabilities with minimal equipment.
Not only does Wyatt posses the right equipment, he demonstrates skill
and dedication, something uncommon in young men his age just shy of 20
years old. We should encourage operators of this caliber as they will
be our future engineers and friends in the space frontier.

and he owns PREAMPS! yes I said it!
The preamp that you don't need, unless you want to push the envelope!
If mediocrity is your ultimate goal, use the minimalist approach,
simple, cheap, but if you wish to truly enjoy the full limits of
satellite communications, give yourself the tools to do the job!
JOB WELL DONE WYATT!
YOU AND ERIC (ON4HF) DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!
