Sounds like a great topic Eric.
Thanks for thinking about it and following up. I look forward to the article. Are you going to be able to make it to Atlanta later this month for the Symposium?
Obviously I am interested in the the telemetry and understanding how the satellite operates and adapts to changes in eclipse period and distance from the sun.

I had a question a couple of days ago from someone that thought all you could do over the satellites was talk. I explained to him that there were other things you could do but I'm sure I left out some things.
That got me thinking, though. I wonder how many people just aren't familiar enough with satellites to know there are other things you can do with them than just pick up a microphone and talk.
I've already started writing an article on what you can do with satellites but I'd love to hear from all the users out there as to how you operate over the birds.
Please respond directly to me at w4otn@amsat.org.
