Thanks Ron for the appreciative note. The payload is powered on now and the first reception reports from the locations I mentioned in my email is eagerly awaited.

Hi Nitin,
I'm slowly setting up for satellite APRS as I believe it may be the best option for very short emcomm messages to/from our isolated northern communities (HF has been useless at the bottom of the solar cycle). Another APRS satellite is great news. Thanks!
