Here's a list of all (known to me) satellites still in orbit with some designed in (but not necessarily operational) amateur band functionality.
For those that think nothing has been happening recently, there have been 26 (so far) satellites launched this year, 13 in 2008 and 11 in 2007. Thats 50 birds in less than the past 3 years.
