I have not worked GO-32 in some time but it was active last year in both BBS
and broadcast mode.  The current status is always at
http://www.iarc.org/techsat/ which says "Jan. 2004 - BBS V9.8 is ON for BETA
Uplaod and Download testings. Output Power - 1W"

   Could someone give me an update on GO-32, Techsat-1B. I was receiving
   GO-32 very well a couple of days ago, and was even able to upload. Now
   I am receiving just a couple of frames each pass. Did GO-32 have an
   OBC crash?

Really!?!!  Are you sure you were uploading to GO-32?  Was it close to 1130Z
(e.g. perhaps still active from a pass over Israel)?

If so, this is interesting news, as far as i've ever read, commissioning
on GO-32 never got very far.  I don't think i've ever heard it, and i'm
one of those people who checks out supposedly dead satellites from time
to time (c.f. Sapphire revival).  I think there might be interest here if
you saved any of the packet traffic and could post some of it (especially
anything that wasn't just a beacon).
