-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Radio Sport-15 has battery charging problems; the transponder and beacon
  are silent when the satellite is in darkness.

* Please note Amsat Oscar-27 has a very sensitive receeiver - it may be
  routinely uplinked with a handheld on low power.  Reception of the 70cm
  downlink is more difficult without a directional antenna most of the time.
  It is important that you make sure you hear the satellite downlink before
  you transmit to avoid interfering with others already on this single channel
  satellite repeater.

* Fuji-Oscar 29 can also be used in Mode JD (Digital).  Currently it is
  reported to be in the Analog mode untill ground controllers assess the
  status of the computer memory.
