I believe that the demise of ao-51 is a good thin for the forward movement of satellite communication and would vote for no more fm birds On Dec 4, 2011, at 5:01 PM, Frank Woolfe wrote:
Unfortunately AO51 is gone, my thoughts are to get the P3E project moving and the thing in the air so we all can continue to enjoy this facet of the hobby; Can any one tell me what is the status of P3E? The web page appears to be not updated for some time. So I guess for those of you that have stood in their backyard and worked AO51 with a HT and a Arrow for many years what was that worth to you? I know that there a many in Australia that have hogged the thing let alone world wide, so how about putting your short arm in your deep pocket and donating to the project, stop all this bickering and move forward all this arguing that I've been reading is so counter productive to the cause. Remember gentlemen it's just a Hobby.
