Yes, indeed, thanks to the Japanese for it and the Indians and the Dutch for HAMSAT...

If it weren't for those, to enable a decent transfer of information by ham satellites, we'd be doing all of our communications on the reflector....

With the exception of rapidly boring callsign, grid square and handle on the rest of them.....

For any FM'ers that have a doppler problem with ssb/cw get Erich's SatPC32...with it, like talking on the telephone!!

I, for one would like to see more activity on VO52 and FO29...

Beginners, sharpen your skills for P3D, and be ready when it comes along!!!

Pulling for P3E...
