AFAIK the official justification for TechSats was that the satellite would serve amateur radio communications, as you mentioned. This was the only way they could start the project that they really wanted for scientific experiments and for educational purposes (students building satellites and running experiments on them). This is what I recall from what the PI, Giora Shaviv of the Technion, said at the time. Are you saying that they did not do whatever they were supposed to do for the amateur radio community?
