Hi Peter, KD7MW
I also really miss AO-10, AO-13 and particularly AO40 and I losted a lot of money to get ready in all modes for AO40 but actually after 10 years that AO40 died my antennas are becoming rusty and metal scrap over the roof.
Sorry,it was nice until lasted but in my opinion there is no chance and no way to get a new HEO satellite in the time to come for many years almost for me......... 81 years old !
Amen !

What are the chances that there will be another high-orbit satellite like AO-10 and AO-13? Does AMSAT have any plans in that direction since the demise of AO-40? My main satellite interest is live communication with faraway places, and I really miss those Molnya birds.
