You, of course, are entitled to your opinion but, please, I hope you didn't
intend to include me in your "unscientific research". I have "paid into it"
and continue to do so.

Hi Jerry,
I don't know what a class "a" ground station consists of, but I'm sure the
kids will get a blast just listening to the recorded children's greetings
broadcasted in FM voice mode. I caught one of these transmissions when they
first tested ARISSat-1 earlier in the year using only a HT with a simple
homebrew 70cm yagi like the ones listed below
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/information/faqs/crow/JulAug06AmsatJournal.pdf
http://www.ea4cax.com/paginaea4cyq/cju/cjuingles.pdf
http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf
I've built all 3, but the easiest, I think, is the one from AMSAT (Richard
Crow N2SPI). The instructions are *VERY* detailed. I take it you're a
school teacher? Even your students can build it. I made mine from 10 gage
solid copper wire because I couldn't find the aluminum grounding wire, but
everything else can be purchased from RadioShack (The Source in Canada, eh).
Even if ARISSat-1 doesn't "fly", pardon the pun, you'll still have a decent
downlink antenna for the other FM satellites.
All the best and have fun!

After years of anticipating the launch of SuitSat-2 and then ARISSat-1 , I
for one have lost My interest in it. I think even with peak performance , it
will take a class "a" ground station to hear any of the formats We're
expecting . Definitely not a school project . I hope it proves Me wrong .

Whaddaya mean by THAT statement?
Are you intoning that I grossly over-paid for something, knowing it would
benefit AMSAT-NA? Like that surprises anyone? Didn;t you hear how much that
prototype AO-40 mounting ?bracket cost me a couple years ago?
(grin)

NASA has some really cool resources absolutely free for us ...
? Mission Summary (760KB PDF)
? Press Kit (11.4MB PDF)
? Commemorative Press Kit Cover (11x17 - 1.7MB PDF)
? Launch Countdown Milestones and Times
? Prelaunch Briefings and Events
? Crew Poster (2.35MB PDF)
? Mission Poster (2.23MB PDF)
? Atlantis Fact Sheet (300KB PDF)
? Atlantis Tribute Gallery
Just go to NASA.gov, and select Shuttle Mission. I am having trouble
selecting which of the great graphics to use as my screensaver ... (grin)
