PCSAT-1 Special Event (results)

Thanks to you guys that participated.  You may continue to
transmit unattended VIA PCSAT-1 as long as she stays up.  The
students were like "wow"...  The posits below were shortened by
cutting out the LAT/LONG but many show the statistics we were
after.

> We'd like to demo PCSAT-1 to students on this Thursday 28 Sept
> at 0923 EDT and 1112 EDT over the eastern USA....
> 1) Attended stations set posit rate to 2 minutes
> 2) Unattended stations set APRS posit rate to 5 minutes
> 3) Include ur name, TX power and ANT Gain

See that even 5W HT's can get in with a J-pole (3dB)

2 minute rate stations
  50W EIRP 5 hits
 150W EIRP 8 hits
 120W EIRP 4 hits
  10W EIRP 3 hits

5 min rate stations
 120W EIRP 2 hits  end of pass
  10W EIRP 3 hits
