[amsat-bb] Receiving AO-40 on S-band, finally

[Margaret Leber <maggie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, it ****WORKS****!

I'm decoding AO-40 on S-Band!

K5OE 16-turn helix into a Millicom downconverter (thanks N0NSV for 
importing them!) on my FT-847, decoding with Tom Sailer's multiplatform 
sound card decoder. (Need to get the STP UDP network stuff working now.)

Around MA 225 I got the set-up right...this will probably improve as the 
morning progresses. No good-checksums yet.
