Hi all, Having posted out my congratulations to all involved in the success of the launch which was very impressive and tribute to the many parties concerned. I would like to add congratulations also to the project teams involved with the payloads and of course they concern many aspects of research as well as our amateur satellite projects. I was pleased to also learn of the success of the activation of AAUSAT-3 which I understand has far exceeded expectations in the first 24 hours of operation. Congratulations to all concerned. I do not know if others are aware but the project team were at one point willing to offer to approved radio amateurs a "Blue Box" to participate in the work that they are carrying out. A very nice gesture and good luck to anyone having the good fortune to be part of this data gathering. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat-UK Amsat NA
