LES1 (I think) has a bent-pipe transponder for military UHF (250 MHz
area). I wonder if the billion to one chance that the transponder came on

Hi Mike,
That's interesting to hear, does this mean the 902 MHz band downlink will be
active over Europe ?

Hi Trevor,
The satellite signals will be received and decoded by the EXA HERMES-A ground
station in Guayaquil and then uploaded live to the Internet using Facebook and
Twitter...
There is a second ground station - HERMES B in Kirch-Brombach (JN49lr) Germany

Hi Andy G0SFJ
I am very concerned about Radio Astronomer Sir Bernard
Lowell went SK.
I was in contact with him and his assistant Doctor Lascelles by
letter in 1960 when the ECHO-1 passive satellite was launched
and I received his VHF beacon at 108.000 and 108.003 MHz.
He was the Director of Ra
In his early teens he built an illegal radio transmitter, see the video

Bob,
Many of those same radios are being sold through legitimate/commercial

I can't speak to your RS rotator specifically, but I would suggest when
you open it, have it over a big tub or bucket. I opened a Wilson rotor
many years ago and became instantly familiar with the ball bearings when
some stuck to the top and some stayed in the bottom raceway. Most of
