[aprssig] AMSAT Plans?

[Ev Tupis]

 Yes. That's the geosynchronous satellite I was referring to.
If we're using a repurposed commercial transponder there...maybe our approach has to change.
Do we have any "6-degrees of separation" connections to other commercial satellite providers who may be willing to do something similar (gift us a transponder)?
Ignorantly,Ev

I miss AO-13 as well. I think P3D/AO-40 soured AMSAT on big money launches, and then the small satellite craze took over. I too would love to see a new phase 3 bird. My satellite DXCC has been stuck at 94 for 20 years!
