Looks promising. Turkeys first home-made Amateur Radio satellite was ITU-pSat on 437.325 CW.
But I guess this new sat would be the first "first home-made communications test satellite" if it carried an FM or hopefully a Linear Transponder. Which-ever it is I wish them well with the project. As you comment the picture is rubbish but I guess it's what you expect from the press if they had a story but no picture to go with it. Someone would be pressured to create a picture, any picture, in a hurry. 73 Trevor M5AKA --- On Wed, 5/1/11, Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbren...@mindspring.com> wrote: > From: Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbren...@mindspring.com> > Subject: [amsat-bb] New Turkish 3U cube with amateur two-way payload? > To: "amsat-bb" <amsat-bb@amsat.org> > Date: Wednesday, 5 January, 2011, 17:24 > http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Turkey_To_Launch_First_Home_Made_Communications_Test_Satellite_999.html > > Ignoring that silly drawing, has anyone heard about this > before now? > > 73, Drew KO4MA > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. > Opinions expressed are those of the author. > Not an AMSAT-NA member?
