Hi Bruce,
Sadly the mission was reprofiled from the original GTO concept to LEO some months back. The final orbit has not yet been confirmed but the satellite is being designed for a baseline orbital height of between 600-800km sun synchronous with a 97 degree inclination.
Still worth having tho!

Wow, I hadn't realized that the amateur payload includes the following: "A U/S Transponder – either FM voice and/or linear/with DSP; A U/V Transponder – linear with DSP; A C-Band beacon." It looks like a full-package HEO is in store for us in 2012.
