Frank, As an AMSAT coordinator here in the east (NJ), I always hear about the HEO sats. (many years of operation on them too.) It is one of the top
questions
and topics of conversations I have at a demo or hamfest. Alas, I have
been
accused of having an agenda of my own by being an advocate of these birds. Yes, I realize that we only have LEO's at present and see nothing on the near horizon in the area of MEO and HEO sats. AMSAT as a whole has earmarked many avenues for HEO's and is not
abandoning
this and is taking the high road and championing what we can offer in satellite launches. LEO's are presently near future. ARRISsat is going
to
be a LEO pushed out of the ISS and will be around for a while with transponders on board. Should offer a high amount of activity and publicity. Remember, if you don't support AMSAT presently, think of the future spots we may miss. Please keep the faith, be well and hope to hear you on future sats and my best wishes for the Holidays. 73, Dee, NB2F

Greetings,
This is one posting I had hoped never to make. It appears that I'll not live long enough to see an HEO bird launched. It is with a heavy heart I list the following for sale. I am not listing any prices. I will discuss pricing on anything that is of interest to you or make me a "reasonable" offer. My land line phone no. is: 308-262-0439
Model No. AIDC-3033 2.4 Ghz Down Converter with a wall wart PS included. Down East Mocrowave Model 144-29 Transverter. (I fed 2.4 Ghz directly
into
the shack, down converted to 144 Mhz. with the AIDC and again with the 144-29 to 10 m. and used my HF rig (FT-920) as the satellite receiver.) Elevation Rotor: Ken Pro Model No. KR-500 with 50+ feet of control cable
and
control unit. (Old but it worked flawlessly until the day I took it
down.)
3 Ft. Spun Aluminum Dish with Down East 2.4 Ghz. pre-amp attached. 19 Element 70 cm. Yagi: Cush Craft Model 719B 9913 low loss coax in various lengths of 50+ feet.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone. Frank, K0BLT [email protected]
