When will the next edition of "Getting Started in Satellites" be published by AMSAT? I find it very helpful for me, as my work schedule allows me to get active in satellites again for a few weeks--then long absences (months)---meaning that I frequently have to try to remember what I've forgotten! :-)
The latest version was just debuted at Dayton.

Has there been any mention of what slot on the Clark Belt Phase IVB will use? And how many degrees drift from geostationary?

Ken, as yet no-one has posted where the Geosynchronous orbit will be positioned or the name of the company that will own the satellite. I presume the information is commercially sensitive but I'm sure AMSAT will be making it available at a later date when they are permitted to do so. 73 Trevor M5AKA
