Here's a list of all (known to me) satellites still in orbit with some designed in (but not necessarily operational) amateur band functionality.
For those that think nothing has been happening recently, there have been 26 (so far) satellites launched this year, 13 in 2008 and 11 in 2007. Thats 50 birds in less than the past 3 years.

I would trade everyone of them that launched in the last 3 years for the first five on the list being active ...OK we have 1 out of the first 5 but all five would be nice...
BTW I am quite sure Oscar V is still in orbit...but without ANY solar cell ability...we wont be hearing from it again....and it wasnt a transponder But I still have a tape of it...!
BTW Xenia OH is a cool place...when I was TDY in Cleveland for a bit a friend who worked where I was flying has a farm there...he recently sold me some Silver Appleyard duck eggs to stock our pond...

Are all the satellites containing the RS transponders included? It seems like some or all are missing. - Duffey -- KK6MC James Duffey Cedar Crest NM
