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.
Eric, As well you know, I consider the educational mission of our birds of paramount importance. Don't forget to mention in your article how they're being used in the classroom to teach a wide variety of subjects. A few which come to mind: orbital mechanics basic electronics Newtonian physics geography linguistics meteorology cryptology thermodynamics solar dynamics radio astronomy earth science I'm sure I've left out quite a few areas, but my point is, there's far more for us to do through ham satellies than simply whistle into a microphone!
