A minor correction. I see that XW-1 is now officially Hope Oscar 68, HO-68. Well deserved.

Hi,
I missed the transponder pass, but managed to catch the FM/BBS pass last night. As others have said, it was a real kick. I had Wisp running, but with TX off, and was able to see part of N8MH's connect efforts. Fortunately the deviation of the packet downlink was not so high that it was unbearable. Still, at some point I hope they will, at least for a test period, separate out the voice and packet modes, as well as drop the PL if possible on the packet.
A great new project. Congratulations to CAMSAT!
