Including AMSAT-NA's web site.  I recently added two previously published
articles to AMSAT's web site, including:

	http://www.amsat.org/amsat/articles/kd2bd/Pacsat_Modem/

that describes my 1200 baud Pacsat Modem, and

	http://www.amsat.org/amsat/articles/kd2bd/Digital/

that describes the various protocols and modulation types used by Pacsat
satellites.

Hope it helps!
