Hello
There is little more than 6 weeks left in which to complete the outstanding
commissioning activities on Sumbandila before operations are planned to be
handed over in middle-March to the Satellite Application Center, who will
then continue to operate the satellite on behalf of the Department of Science
and Technology (DST) - owner of the satellite.
Since our progress is currently hampered by the various SA-AMSAT payload
activities, we have unfortunately no choice but to temporarily suspend this
service on SO-67. We plan to have it "on air" again end-March / beginning
Apr this year.
We have so far successfully executed more than 320 payload activations since
we started using the SA-AMSAT payload in Q4 2009.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Best regards
Jan-Albert

Hello friends,
Today in the 161.057 orbit of? the AO-7 approximately 22:51 UTC our friend?
Joe, K3SZH, managed to maintain a short QSO with Francisco Ramirez, PY2OV.
The distance between the two stations was 7738 km (4833 Miles). And with
absolute certainty the QSO could be extended by a? greater good distance. I
have the recording of QSO. Soon I'll add the link to the video / audio.

Hi all,
This may be known to some of you - but it has given
me problems sometimes.
OSCAR 27 is a different satellite than AO-27.
OSCAR 27 is catalog number 18361.
AMRAD-OSCAR-27 (AO-27) (AKA EYESAT) is catalog number 22825.
OSCAR 27 is in the Transit series of satellites (NAVSAT).
Other satellites in this series carry the OSCAR name and a
number.
I had this problem at a summer course in satellite technology
for students from many countries.
I said to them that they could use the keps for AO-27 for a project.
AO-27 has a nice nearly circular orbit :-)
Then they used OSCAR 27 - and I did not understand the
the difference in the expected results in the start.
Some lists of keplerian elements use EYESAT for AO-27.
If you Goggle OSCAR 27 you get a lot of hits that are really
AO-27.
Greetings from Copenhagen.

Perhaps it's time a few mode people ditched the Oscar number and used the
official satellite name.
A good start would be Amsat's and ARRL's KEPS bulletins.
