Hi Steve,
I'm sorry for the confusion.
Thank you for helping me figure out this
Facebook operation. Even when using the
FB "Help" feature, I cannot discern clearly
the difference between the FB Group and the
FB Page options. I started with creating a
Group, and then later created a Page. But
last night I deleted the Group (long story)
in favor of giving the Page an opportunity
to incubate.
Here are my requirements, and maybe you
and others can comment: I want it to be
public but we want to know who is in the
membership, and allow folks to post photos,
videos, data/telemetry/documents, all in
good taste and relevant to our high-altitude
balloon experiments, Amateur Satellite efforts,
educational training opportunities, fellow-
ship, and community outreach goals. I want
it to be totally separate from my personal
Facebook page which is, to me, mostly an
immediate family thing.
It would be nice to have an e-mail "broadcast"
capability there too, like for rain scrubs on
flight day. (It will be more dynamic than the
Web page, which will be used for verbose
announcements, displaying key results,
reposit important reference documents,
publish diagrams/documents, archive stuff
and serve to allow the logging of our
"history.")
So, do these "specs" suggest we need a
Group or a Page?
Thoughts?
For now, I believe the correct URL, as long
as it may be, is:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/SimSat/190820480964810?sk=wall
although I hope we can shorten it soon.
Once we get this Facebook tool stable then
I will update the simsat.net site.
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Pat

This it? https://www.facebook.com/pages/SimSat/190820480964810 (forget how I found it)
Or this: https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_209591802406934 ?
Might want to add a link on the Simsat web page. To find the 2nd link, I did a search for Simsat (bringing up a ton of people from various parts of the world) then clicked on groups. What I assume is the school group is the 1st link that's listed. What I think is the AMSAT-dc group (I sent a join request) is the 2nd.

That MIGHT be a Page, and NOT a Group
from the Facebook perspective. Just search
the string "simsat" (without the quotes) once
you are logged on to your own page in FB.
Hope this helps. 73 de N8PK.

Hello Benn,
Good to meet you on e-mail.
If I heard my ears right, the EVA crew
deployed ARISSat-1 at 2:43 P.M. EDT
from the ISS without the one antenna
attached.
Yikes! (So much for a cross-band
transponder.)
There is a big story to be told about
that one, and I will be first in line
to hear.
Obviously, more news to follow.
Cheers,
Pat

Patrick, did they really deploy the satellite?
I thought they couldn't find the UHF antenna!

ARISSat-1, to be deployed by hand from
the ISS tomorrow morning, will be a big
hit in schools, clubs and the news media.
I hope many of you/us will go outside
with an HT to hear some of the initial
passes!
