Notable changes on satnogs-client:
- Support demodulator for Reaktor Hello World 2 satellite

MySat-1 First Received On SatNOGS network
Excellent work by Mark Jessop scheduling this observation resulted in the first results from the MYSAT-1 via station 232 on this observation. He passed the observation back to MYSAT-1 via their twitter feed and they were thrilled to say he was the first to hear and expressed their thanks.
Dashboard for MYSAT-1
Following on from the above story our fabulous contributor Patrick DL4DP has put together a dashboard for the MYSAT-1 mission which is publicly available here
Decoding eshail 2 go using gr-satellites
Its been a busy week for Patrick! He has also put together this great tutorial post on how he has used gr-satellites to decode the BSPK 400bps beacon on the EsHail-2 QO-100 transponder based on some ideas he had seen from Dani EA4GPZ. Check out this post here on the libre space community forum.

FOSDEM 2019
A little late with this update but many SatNOGS contributors and team members made the trip to FOSDEM 2019 and got an opportunity to promote SatNOGS and also work together on various projects. A couple of posts on the Libre Space site and the SDR Makerspace site cover the trip and the varied events and activities well. Interest in SatNOGS was, as ever, high and we have seen people we talked to on the booth registering on the Libre Space forum which is great to see.
