[amsat-bb] PCSAT pass

[Bob Bruninga <bruninga@xxxxxxxx>]

I happened to capture this from PCSAT today, and thought it might be
interesting:

[Turned GPS OFF as the battery voltage was going down.  Notice, in the
[second GGA sentence, it had 2 satellites in lock.  Last time GPS was on was
[September 2002 and  that was the last time it had ephemeris for PCsat to
[know where it was.  I only had it on for a minute.  Tomorrow maybe I will
[try to leave it on longer and see if we get a fix...
