[amsat-bb] Re: apparent beacon on 435.300

["Andrew Glasbrenner" <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's RS-30, aka Yubileiny, on 435.315 and 435.215. Apparently there are no 
two-way packages onboard, unfortunately. It's also unfortunate that the 
builders didn't coordinate their downlinks with the IARU, and they ended up 
so close to the AO-51 downlink.
