FOX-1 with a 145/435 MHz singe channel FM transponder at end of the year, can anyone confirm if it's still year-end ?
We are not manifested yet. We passed on a launch that was offered earlier this year because it was only to ISS altitude. So, we don't have an exact date, or even a vehicle or orbit to report, just that we are on the list.

Hello,
I have a little question here. Will FOX-1 use 2m uplink? I know the current preferred band for many future satellite is 70cm due to the low interference possibilities, but for low budget partial homebrew stations a 2m FM Uplink is a great news, so just checking, will be there a 2m FM uplink on currently planned satellites?
Thanks and 73,

Fox-1 will have a 70 cm uplink and 2 meter downlink (U/V). The design should make it as easy to work as a V/U FM satellite, with your handheld antenna and HT setup in mind.

Bad news Raydel...
The Cuban's HAM regulation authority forbid us to TX on the "general" Satellite segment of 70cm...
I see a battle with ACS coming... hi hi hi (Do you remember the digital battle, in that we won...)
I will try to search and match some of the recent "future" sats to see in they are in the non-TX slot of 70cm...
If so... there is time to start a war... hi hi hi hi...
