This from Mike Kingery, KE4AZN:
AO-51 has reset to the boot loader and I will have to reload the
software. I
started that tonight. It will be at least Tuesday night before I can
finish
the job. I'm sorry to those looking to use the L band uplink. We will
re-
schedule that in April. When I'm done with the reload I will put AO-51
into
the mode scheduled for 23 March.
I ran and WOD data file for to many days, which created a large file
data
file onboard the satellite. That caused the software reset.

SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.
Uplink: 145.850 MHz (67.0 Hz PL tone) (See below for operating
procedures)
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear
U: Linear
Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml
(not up and running currently)
There have been unconfirmed reports on the amsat-bb remailer that SO-50
has
shifted downlink frequency as much as 5khz up. This both from Europe.
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The
order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater
on and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

This from Emily, N1DID:
AO-7 is Operational
As of 15 March 2006 AO-7 entered eclipse on the ascending node of it's
orbit
for a short period of time and will turn off during that period, but
other-
wise remains operational providing stations observe QRP power levels. It
is
difficult to tell if the 24 hour timer will be reset or if there is
enough
energy to keep it running during the short periods of eclipse AO-7
experiences for the next few weeks. We should know in a few days by
observing
the modes reported on each orbit.
Please keep your power low! For additional information please read the
AO-7 Usage Guidelines on the AO-7 Log and Resource Site located at:

AO-16 AMSAT Webpage: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/n7hpr/ao16.html
This from Paul Williamson,KB5MU:
There has been no loss of command function on AO-16.
The BBS is down because of localized memory failures in the mass memory
used
for message (file) storage, caused presumably by radiation. It would be
poss-
ible to modify the on-board BBS software to work around these memory
failures
and the command team did request that this be done, but it has not been
aggressively followed up due to the apparent lack of interest in 1200
bps
capabilities.
The S-band beacon isn't broken to the best of my knowledge, it's just
turned
off. The power budget doesn't allow the S-band beacon to be run
continuously
without reducing the main downlink to flea power. I can't explain
VK5DG's
observation of telemetry indicating 700mw of output from the S-band
trans-
mitter, but perhaps someone who has paid more attention to the telemetry
could explain it.
There hasn't been much communication within the AO-16 command team in a
long
time, since the satellite is pretty much self-sufficient in its current
mode
and we haven't been working on any projects to change things. At least a
few
of us are still standing by in case anything comes up.
