I hope that Amsat can make Fox the highest quality, longest lived Cubesat ever built. But a Cubesat in high altitude orbit will be very disappointing to most hams, only the big-gun ham stations will ever be able to work it. We need a larger satellite with a larger power budget, high gain antennas

The interesting question is is how much will AMSAT members be willing to invest in ground stations. A 3U cubesat could provide a HEO satellite similar to Arsene (AO-24). 73, John KD6OZH ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those
