Hi all, I’m not aware of any operational store and forward PBBS birds. The good news is that an AMSAT engineering team has rebooted the PACSAT concept in state of the art design and construction. Watch the Hamvention 2024 video from the AMSAT/TAPR banquet to hear Bill Reed NX5R talk about the new PACSAT payload!

Thank you, but I was thinking of a fully-formatted packet message that was placed into an orbiting bbs in one part of the world that would be polled by another station, pulled down then deleted from the bird. The message size would definitely be bigger than one line.

APRS Satellites have such a capability, I remember succeeding sending a email to myself using UISS thru ISS APRS. For this to work SatGats are needed.

In the past there used to be ground stations acting as a satellite gateway to the store-and-forward birds. I am having some difficulty find which birds are still active that can serve this function. Could somebody point me to the latest information on this? Thanks anyway.
