There is much to celebrate with the successful launch and early commissioning of the XW-1 satellite! Congratulations to Alan, Michael, and the entire team---from construction, to launch, to commissioning. Your hard work is evident and appreciated by ham operators around the world.
I had the priviledg of working N3TL on that first linear transponder US pass, and the bird performed and sounded wonderful! (thanks, Tim :) ) I hope to be around to attempt the PBBS when it becomes active over the US tody as well. Best 73 to the XW-1/Hope-1 team! -- Mark L.
