Cloud -Unisat Activity
by GW1FKY＠aol.com 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi , Using the initial keps posted out for "Unisat" ( Cloud ) - I did some sweep monitoring on 437 Mhzs during a predicted pass 0929 GMT ( 20/6/14 ) Heard various bursts of data and activity from the satellites in the group. Did not identify each one at the time but now that I know that they are active will follow up and clarify hopefully more accurately. Congratulations on the success of the launch and activation of payloads. The keps on Celestrak.com show recent launches with many in the list for day 170. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat -UK Amsat NA

Really great to see more satellites launched with transponder payloads. There's a Linear Transponder, FM voice transponder, D-STAR Parrot Repeater and I think it's three satellites with Digipeaters. http://amsat-uk.org/2014/06/19/successful-launch-of-amateur-radio-satellite… Congratulations to all involved in developing these satellites. ---- Trevor M5AKA AMSAT-UK Website http://amsat-uk.org/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/amsatuk Twitter https://twitter.com/AMSAT_UK ----

My ISP is via a satellite service WILDBLUE Their web based email sucks real bad. Refuse to use it. So when we moved out of town to the country I kept my BIG-RIVER dot NET email account. And it will show if you go searching the IP address in my email headers. John

Hotmail Rejecting Amsat
by Gary 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Apparently Hotmail is blocking all things Amsat. The email reflector is blocked. My Amsat alias used to forward to my Hotmail account, but now bounces. I would be interested if someone has solved this. Please do not reply that I need to get rid of Hotmail. Thanks and 73, Joe kk0sd
