[amsat-bb] Satellite ship "Cosmonaut Viktor Patsaev"

I am just back from Kaliningrad (Russia) where I was able to visit the Russian satellite communication ship, "Cosmonaut Viktor Patsaev". They opened up the ship for me although I wasn't allowed into the laboratory because although the ship is moored in a museum it is still in use.

However I was allowed onto the decks to photograph the antennae and they knew I was a radio ham. So I photographed the antennae and measured what I could.

My report is on my website http://www.andythomas.eu%C2%A0 - it's downloadable from the bottom of the first page. All errors are my own. I hope you find it interesting.
