As far as that is concerned. I am Physics teacher. Due to budget cuts, I was bumped down to the middle school this year. I am hoping to land a job as the Physics teacher at the new high school opening in our district. If I get it, I will be in search of STEM grants to get for my students and I to build a pico sat. If this is doable, I would have digital capabilities in the forefront of my mind. Heck, building a bird with a simple digi does not seem like it would be SUPER hard. Bob, I have actually met you in person and the AMSAT symposium in San Diego. That was a few years ago. I think 1999 or 2000. I was so impressed by the PacSats I learned a ton about Linux and networking trying to decode those sats with software (I was too poor to afford the hardware at the time). It is good to correspond with you again. Thanks, Chris Maness KQ6UP _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
