William,
you have a good point there, that needs some discussion indeed.
Actually I do support the participation of radio amateurs in this kind
of scientific effort. I find it very interesting and I am willing to
spend some time and even money on it.
However, I am frequently quite frustrated
Would recommend reading the info on AMSAT's website!

Hi Stefan,
So the answer on my question if my 433MHz toy car, when I put it into space,
can get an OSCAR number is YES!
According to the AMSAT website you mentioned of course... :-P
- My question was not specific if these satellites can or can't get an OSCAR
number.
My intention was more if they
I would like to first say that yes, many of these Cubesats projects do a
really poor job of providing information about themselves and they have a
lot of room for improvement.
Second that amateur bands are used not only for the fact that there are
already established ground stations, but because g
Thanks,
Cubesats working within the amateur radio frequency spectrum are
commanded by licensed ham radio operators with the same rights and
requirements as all of us. Many of them use the frequencies to
downlink vital satellite information as well as scientific experiment
data. All of this is well
Not to mention the cost of launch to HEO. No one with the capability is giving
it away or discounting it.
