Hi Les,.
I know this and I think we do a good job of 365/7/24 with our antenna in
Bochum.
We receive and deliver realtime raw data to NASA / NOAA for the Stereo A /
B project

It's called a Rockoon, and has been done before, google it.
Thing is now days it's launch would have to be permitted by the

AMSAT exposure was at Dayton in 2010 I had played with the idea of receiving
satellites and back in the 90's actually received DOVES beacon. Back then I
was a bit confused and never thought much about it. After Dayton 2010 I
It's to my understanding that the Rockoons didn't go to orbit, but did
reach space with ballistic trajectories. The hard part with orbit is the
pure speed needed. RIT had a

While the frustration evidenced in this digest is understandable, perhaps
unknown to us AMSAT are already trying to innovate an alternative to Highly
Elliptical Orbit. Certainly a longer lived orbit would be desirable and a bird
lighter that a P3 sat would perhaps find a cheap ride easier but

Has there been any though about a mailing to some of these thousands of

rejoining and contributing to future projects? No doubt a few are still

I did the same... I worked the the FM sats. I started with a IC 821
until it crapped out on me. I was on AO40 and it worked well until the
radio went south.
I got a IC910H and I already had SatPC32 so the two worked very well
together.
I have a second IC910H that I use for terrestrial comms.

I've been working sats off and on for many years. I must admit that I
haven't done much since RS-12/13 and RS-15 went silent. I believe that if
we had more easy sats with Mode VHF up and HF down they might be more
popular. Tuning and alignment weren't as critical.
Just my two cents or so.
Thanks' for sharing your experiences. I'm inspired! W1GMA

Contrarily... I believe if we had more hard sats that would present more of a
challenge to many. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. The difficult
we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer!
