I vote for Intelsat G-11 at 304.5 deg E. This is a Ku band only bird,
however, the semi-retired Intelsat 805, which is co-located with this sat
has a global C band beam with a downlink that extends into the amateur 9cm
satellite band (3400-3410 MHz). I often wondered if Intelsat would consider
"donating" a few Khz to AMSAT. We could then tie a single, commercially
licensed uplink station via echolink and hear it on the 9cm downlink. At
least it would be a reason for people to use the 9cm band before it's taken
away for the latest mobile broadband gizmo.

I'm interested in your az/el rotor.
Please let me know if it has been sold yet or not.
Thanks and 73,

Still don't know how to answer direct but:
I have the CW filter, It works but I have never needed it! Of course the
1.2 Ghz module hasn't been used since AO-40 died. I turn the 1.2 Ghz module
on every once in a while to blow the cob webs out of my 2C39 amp. Also have
the UT-106 module, not sure if it does much that is noticeable at this
location. Only got the RX options for the main RX, couldn't anticipate
needing the enhancements on both receivers at the same time. The CT-17 is
real handy for interfacing the frequency tracking systems.
In my opinion, if 1.2 GHz gets popular again there are better options than
the internal module.
Unless you got burnt on the price, the 910 is probable the best buy for
satellite work around. You got everything but mode "A" and no bird on the
ISS down link.
73 and see you on the birds,

The latest update on the proposed ArduSat.
See http://www.uk.amsat.org/?p=8284
I wonder though about the fund raising idea of renting out time on the
various space experiments.
Not a problem on UHF commercial frequencies but would it fall foul of FCC
regs if the 435 MHz band were used ?

In short, yes, in my opinion, unless they applied for and received an
experimental (Part 5 I think) license in the 435 band, which has happened
before. Even then I think there is a legal issue with a amateur service
station communicating two-way with a part 5 station. I don't think any of
them are aware of this from what I can see. THe FAQ on their kickstarter
page has the following:
How do you communicate with ArduSat?
Our current plan is to use GENSO, a network of amateur-band ground stations
connected through the internet that allows you to use any of the satellite
communication terminals on the network from anywhere else. By connecting our
interface to the network, we can communicate with ArduSat whenever it is in
range of any of the stations. This means we can access the satellite more
often and for longer.
As a backup option, we?re also looking discussing with private ground
station operators for collaboration.

I'm a big supporter of cubesats, but many of them need some education on the
use of amateur frequencies in my opinion.
