Hi All: I was visiting the KSC today (free for Brevard residents) and noticed a building with what looked like a pair of hamsat antennas on the roof over by the rocket garden. Anyone here know the scoop on those? Had a nice visit, was nice to see two shuttles on the pads!
Thanks!

Hi Scott,
Good eyes. George, KF4XB, Don, AG4FC, and I have been working on that station since July. The station is sponsored by Florida Space Institute and will be operational on 2m, 70cm 900 MHz and S-Band. We made our first satellite contact using the station on FO-29 last Saturday doing everything manually. The next step is getting computer control of the rigs and rotors running.
