From: [email protected] [email protected] Subject: [amsat-bb] old satellites To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2009, 9:24 PM Hello I believe this subject has been kicked around on this BB before. It did generate some creative thinking. Given all the satellites up there and all the varied uses of them, eventually some of them get compromised for whatever reason. Is there any way any of these old relics can be reprogramed, used or otherwise "adjusted" to suit us? We don't need a real good S/N ratio to make us happy, and we are pretty good at cobbling together whatever we want. We have some very informed and smart people on this BB who know. 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
