What's keep us from selling is "Moon bounce" the only one way to actually effectively recycled our HEO stuff. Our local Ham club is promoting a Moon bounce project (see the link below) http://www.ve2cbs.qc.ca/VE2CBS/Nos_albums/Pages/Projet_%22Objectif_Lune%22.html The amateur satellite business is now over for many of us as i have predicted when AO-40 failed. LEO sats where not enough to sustained a critical mass of satellite operator. We are now watching the slow and silent demise of this part of our hobby and related organization. Just hope you will find takers for your very nice rig. 73 "-" Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE HTTP://www.ve2cbs.qc.ca DSTAR urcall VE2DWE WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
