[Ground-station] FO-98 OrigamiSat-1 5.84 GHz downlink

[Mike Seguin]

I apologize for the short notice.....

The OrigamiSat-1 Team will remotely activate the 5.84 GHz downlink on 
FO-98 for four upcoming passes over the Northeastern US. The times 
listed are based on my QTH here in Vermont at FN34jm.

I manually updated my nasa.all file in SatPC32 to use these.

If you have 5.8 GHz receive capability and are in the Eastern US, please 
consider trying to detect the downlink.

The equipment I am using is the same that I used to successfully detect 
NIWAKA in 2012 on 5.84 GHz.

DEMI 5.760 GHz transverter with a 2' dish and Directive Systems linear 
feed (Horizontal). I also have a DEMI preamp inline. The IF I'll be 
using is a Funcube Dongle Pro+ set for 224 MHz. This equipment is my 
terrestrial 5.760 GHz system which works quite well out of band at 5.84 GHz.

Please report any success here and you can also use the reception report 
on their website. The OrigamiSat-1 team is also on Twitter. @OrigamiSat1
