[amsat-florida] Re: Satellite Station at KSC?

[Lee McLamb]

Hi Scott,

Good eyes.  George, KF4XB, Don, AG4FC, and I have been working on that station 
since July.  The station is sponsored by Florida Space Institute and will be 
operational on 2m, 70cm 900 MHz and S-Band.  We made our first satellite 
contact using the station on FO-29 last Saturday doing everything manually.  
The next step is getting computer control of the rigs and rotors running.

73,
