Hi all, I was wondering if AO-51 is in mode V/S yet. Tried listening on the 13:40 utc pass at EN-56 and heard nothing. This only my second time trying s-band so I may have messed up. 73 de Doug KA8QCU

Cubesat consideration
by Giulio AB2VY 09 Jun '08

Hello Graham, what you say is very beautiful and my support is of 100%, but what i know and that brought me to give my opinion is based on what I see in one Italian universitie (not Turin..) There isn't any guy who transports outside its daily study commitment the passion for radio and amateur radio experiments If building a cubesat means creating a study and a future I am the first to agree this, but, if it is only for occupate 3 hours on a laboratory (as unfortunately I have seen for other kind of satellite object where i was involved ...) for me.. do not serve to nothing What I write comes from what I see here in Italy during my last experience , in the rest of the world all things are much better! Long life to any study on space communication Giulio AB2VY ___________________________________ Scopri il Blog di Yahoo!
