I'm working on an article for the AMSAT Journal on the 4U70UN satellite activation.
Does anyone know when/if the UN has ever been activated on satellite before? I think it has, but I don't see anything in my logs that go back to the mid 90's.
Tnx, Mike
Yes
Ray Soifer, W2RS, wrote an article entitled "OSCAR at 4U1UN" on page 23 of the March/April 1979 AMSAT Newsletter (http://www.ka9q.net/AMSAT-Newsletter-1979.pdf)
Ray also mentioned his activation of 4U1UN on page 18 of AMSAT Orbit #12 (Jan/Feb 1983) On page 28, there is a mention of a Mode J station being built at 4U1UN for use on OSCAR 8 (http://www.ka9q.net/AMSAT-ORBIT-12.pdf)
