WD9EWK @ Mesa AZ hamfest, Saturday (4 December)
Hi!
I will have an AMSAT table at the Superstition Amateur Radio Club's hamfest in Mesa, Arizona, on Saturday, 4 December 2010. The hamfest will be in the southwest parking lot of Mesa Community College, along Dobson Road between Southern Avenue and the US-60 freeway. This is a half-day hamfest, starting early in the morning and wrapping up by noon.
During the hamfest, WD9EWK will be on several satellites for on-air demonstrations, FM and SSB. If you hear me on the air Saturday morning, please feel free to give me a call. If you work WD9EWK and would like a QSL card, please e-mail me with the QSO details to check against my log. If you're in the log, I'll send a card.
73!

Hi,
I would be interested to know what the highest data rate achieved from an amateur satellite is/was. I seem to recall some sats using 38.4K but not sure if this is true, or how successful they were.
I'm guessing that use of 'normal' amateur radio rigs, eg ICOM 910 isnt really practical for these higher data rates (although I know of an add one unit from Symek, which will provide higher bandwidth from the 910, and other radios).
Is anyone planning to use a higher data rate?
I'd be interesting to read any comments folk might have.
