Arissat will be fun, but objects launched from the ISS don't stay in orbit all that long. The linear transponder is going to have to compete for time with all the other downlink modes & experiments the bird can do. I'm thinking the linear transponder probably won't be turned on much, because it might upset the FM'ers. KB7ADL _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
