Any plans to demo the satellites on this presentation? Some of us are always available to be the voices at the other end of the satellite (AO-85, SO-50, FO-29, etc).
It will also give us an opportunity to add you to our logs. I've been doing this since October and haven't heard you on one of the birds yet.
