At the Satellite2014 conference in Washington D.C. this year I floated an
idea past a couple of the major GEO satellite operators for a hosted payload
that consisted of a 1.2 GHz receiver package that used the low end of an
existing C band global beam transponder (3.4 GHz.) as the downlink. I didn't
get laughed at or dismissed and even got indications that "maybe" this could
be done with a one time fee.
That said, I think the success of many of the very small satellites, like
$50sat, demonstrates that with a distributed team collectively working to a
well defined mission a Cubesat HEO is possible.

Does any one have an audio copy of the ISS passes on Saturday for the
east coast about doing it re? I know that someone from AZ recorded the
passes there but I didn't think about doing it here. I hope that someone
did.
Thanks

I rested a digital recorder on the speaker of a handheld to get about 4
minutes of ISS audio on 6/29 near 2141Z. The recording picks up my vain
attempts to get attention, which also desensed the receiver at times, so
it's not clean, but it's better than nothing. These are the acknowledgments
I can hear (with a tiny amount of guesswork).
