[amsat-bb] Looking for any info on RS-1

["Jay, kf6rmg" <kf6rmg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   No, that's not a typo, RS-1. I read in "A Brief History of Amateur 
Satellites" at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/n7hpr/history.html that 
"...RS-1 is still giving signals. Its battery open circuited soon after 
launch, but the spacecraft's 29.401 MHz beacon can still be heard sending 
"55" when the solar cells are in full sunlight..." If this is true, I'd like 
to try listening for RS-1, but I don't know where to start looking for keps 
for a bird this old. I'd also be interested in ANY other info about RS-1 
that anyone here might have, no matter how trivial it may be.

                                                             Tnx es 73,
                                                             Jay, KF6RMG
