      Sorry to disappoint you.
At this point AMSAT-DL has not been able to secure any funding to
secure a launch (not even from their own government) and the rant
against cubesats at the UK colloquium by has only hurt them even more.
Unless this community learns to work together and sees the benefits in
all satellite programs and supports each other, we are only hurting
ourselves. Why is so difficult to understand?

Hi Bruce,KK5DO
AMSAT-DL is working very hard on P3-E and P5-A and in the near future they
will be able to launch P3-E
Work on P3-E is continuing and AMSAT-DL is busy looking for launch
possibilities and other ways for financing it, i.e. on coat-tails of the
P5 Mars Mission.
Indeed, P3-E is not a dream but a reality and AMSAT-DL need the support of
the community.
There will only a P3-E, if we all really want it..
If you want to support P3-E, than please visit
http://www.p3e-satellite.org/?lang=en_EN and make a direct donation to
the project - THANKS!

i think i have a bunch of ao40 qso's on my website.

problem is you are dreaming of reliving a time in history when we were
fortunate to have launches that were reasonably priced. today, we take what
is free and if that means proliferation of cubesats and nonosats so be it.
if you are willing to pay for a heo launch, let your favorite amsat know and
they will construct a heo for you to launch.
otherwise you should stop hampering the dreams and aspirations of those
building launchable satellites today. history might repeat itself but not
without a lot of money.

Hi Peter,NH6VB
I believe that Stefan,VE4NSA never worked or was listening
on a HEO othervise he will be not in favour only on the Cubesat
and I am sure he will pull also like me and many others for P3E
To give  Stefan a demonstration of what I am stating I have sent
to all of you a WAV file 3 minutes long with a QSO via AO40 in
wich we are three of us (IW2ERR-i5UXJ and i8CVS) talking like
into a telephone without QSB or QRM and nice audio quality
for hours much better than in 20 meters because we can interrupt
each other at the same time.
Sorry the QSO is in italian but it is sufficient to say that if Stefan
ever worked a HEO he have missed a lot.
Also sorry that my message to Peter,NH6VB including the WAV
file bounced back to me.

Thanks,
I am glad you favour HEOs. Good for you. At least the cubesat
community does not bash and discriminate against your favourite
satellite system. Any university and organization that puts up a
cubesat is a winner for me. They are fun, challenging and use the
spectrum. More power to them. I am glad AMSAT is moving along with
Fox. Feel free to support the HEOs. My money is on the Cubesats.

Stefan,
With all due respects, have you ever worked a HEO?
I am not bashing cubesats, there is a place for them, as you say.
But, have you ever worked a HEO? If not, you have missed a lot.

Thank you!!!!
I am so sick and tired of bashing the cubesat community. At least they
are putting satellites in orbit and they ARE licensed radio amateurs
with the same access to the spectrum as all of us!
