Myself and Brad, WF7T made the below wiki. I just put Eric's acronyms
on it (hope you don't mind Eric). I personally would love for AMSAT to
install MediaWiki or something on the AMSAT server, copy any/all
content over from this one and go. Doesn't have to be open to everyone
but if it could be moderated or something it would be a huge resource.
So much is lost on Twitter and the like.

hi
I am uplinking a qrp cw (attended) beacon on 145.900 today onto AO7 mode A,
and would appreciate any swl reports, it's a bit chirpy! Will e-qsl too.
I plan to uplink at around 14:40 (east of me)and also 16:32 (west) local
time.
many thanks

So, I've not worked PO-101 before, but when I tried to earlier I was
getting no voice. I checked on Satnogs and it appears the same for others
with this. Are they not doing FM Voice right now?

PO-101 operates on a not-so-regular schedule. Follow @????????? on
