Hi Gents, A couple of years ago I was privilaged to work with university students on a cubesat project. They were mostly space science and engineering students of very high calibre indeed. It was a pure delight to be in the company of such focussed and inteligent youngsters. They had no interest in grid squares and DX type ham radio, but they did want to know how to get their command signals up to the space craft and how to get their data down. Whatever your views about cubesats, if you get an opportunity to work with a cubesat group go for it. Its a blast. 73 John G7HIA _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
