[aprssig] Fwd: PCSAT-1 may be hybernating again.

[Chuck Kimball]

Hi Bob:

I happened to hear a packet burst yesterday  16 December - I think it 
was the 18:34 UTC pass, but could have also been the 20:15 pass.  During 
that pass I heard a single packet that sounded like the TX dropped 
before it was complete (on 145.825).  Heard no other bursts during the 
pass from here at Palmer Station Antarctica.

I didn't decode anything from the burst I heard.
