I was one of them! What an awesome Bird! Wouldn't it be soo awesome if we could get three up there linked together 100% worldwide coverage.
Listening to some of the stations describe what they are using did not sound overly complex either!

There were over 300 people on the Goonhilly WebSDR alone this afternoon. This is a great time for AMSAT! I must say I am very jealous though!

Andrew,
Thanks to have shared, was not aware of that communication. And to all who may have been somehow been embarrassed by my comments about the HAM discipline etc. Please accept my apologies for same.
This side no luck, my setup was ready over a year ago and tested many times, today trying to Tx (after your mail) I have a high SWR and cannot access the bird, will have to wait Saturday to figure it out and hopefully make my 1st QSO through the bird.

Mike,
Heard many stations in QSO today really strong (loud and clear), seems that the bird will be very popular in these low solar times. Also it seems that strong signal with 5-10 watts in 70 cm dish for uplink is confirmed from many, therefore the forecast in terms of power budget seems confirmed so far.
Myself refraining to Tx per AMSAT-DL recommendation (just a question of discipline) but will surely do so by Friday.

Quite a few stations on the narrow band (voice) transponder right now.
It's open for experimental use.
