According to the original report from Defence Web theprimary
pay load is no longer usable.
Later in the news bulletin Rob Olivier from SunSpace says
that ?radio transmissions still operate, making it useful to radio operators
around the world, including in the US, Europe and Australia?
There could be hope for us yet!
May be someone from Amsat-SA can clarify the status of the
Ham Radio pay load.

This is just one person's opinion. When bully behavior is allowed to push
you off they win and the innocent majority loses.
Thank you for trying and providing the opportunity for HI4 and sorry it has
been so unpleasant.

Next pass for me will be a 88 degree elevation pass at around 0810 EST /
1310 UTC in Massachusetts. I will have it on the live stream site ..
Hopefully I will hear something.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Has anyone designed a QSL card back for satellite operators who
operate a lot of rover? I am trying to trim cost and time associated
with multiple cards to QSL my rover contacts. In the past I have hand
written many /P cards and some image-based cards using photo printers,
but would like to order a better quality card with an image front and
QSO data on back.
I'm looking for a QSL card back that has room for pertinent
information such as my rover grid, satellite, and the necessary items
to confirm a valid QSO for award purposes. The idea would be for the
card to support at least four QSO's.
My question is -- has anyone designed such a card and are you willing
to share with me your image? Perhaps someone is a real graphics hound
and would like to help?
Thank you & 73,
Clayton

SO-67's primary objective was photographic research. That aspect of the
project is gone. But ...

Search for UX5UO and design your card with an empty spot for the grid. $48
for 1,000 cards with free shipping.

Agree. Unfortunate. But I respect Bob?s choice -- it?s his time, his
enjoyment.
I listened to the 25-Jan 1807 pass (the day Bob ?suspended?):
http://www.papays.com/sat/AO-27_25Jan2012_180657z.mp3
Outside of some packet bursts and the ?taxi drivers?, the only thing I hear
is folks not letting grids and calls being exchanged both ways, on what
were, I think, ?pre-arranged? attempts (Bob was calling them). Because of
the rapid-fire exchanges there is a tendency to consider that any ?empty?
time on a active FM bird is wasted time, so if the exchange is not completed
on the first pass and there is a pause waiting for the repeat, folks can?t
resist the open channel to call. I am not condoning it, but certainly
understand the temptation. Bob also said he wanted to work new folks as
well... not sure how many calling had already worked him. I guess only Bob
knows for sure. And yes, we must remember that not everyone who works the
birds reads this list, and would have known his desire.
When I worked Bob, we did not complete exchanges on the first attempt (he
did not confirm my grid), and 30 seconds later when there was a gap I called
him again to confirm he had my grid.
IMHO though, compared to passes that capture the full US in the foot print,
that pass was actually pretty ?organized?. I have heard much, much worse.
Listen for yourself and decide.
Then listen to the 16-Jan pass further down:
http://www.papays.com/sat/general.html
Bob, if you are reading, I hope you will be back on during the time you have
left there. It is appreciated.

According to South Africa AMSAT's website, all amateur radio
activities have been suspended. Has this been confirmed?
