Success with RS-44

I had a chance to get my Satellite rig on the air and added in information
for HuskySat-1 and RS-44.Â* Never heard HuskySat, but at a pass around
23:45Z I worked KS1G on CW, and N3CAL, W4ZXT + W5CBF on SSB.Â* Heard a bunch
of European stations earlier.

This satellite seems to have amazingly fast and deep fades.Â* Often hear
only part of a callsign before it would swing from S9 to in the noise.Â* So
quite a challenge to work.

Funny coincidence; this is the first satellite that my Uplink didnt have to
be calibrated.Â* The default Uplink and Downlink values in Doppler.sqf were
spot on for my rig.
