Informationssidan om amatörradiosatelliter har fått en ny adress: http://www.amsat.org/status/

Här går det att själv fylla i status om satelliter vilket ger en ögonblicksbild vilka satelliter som är aktiva. Joe KM1P och Peter 2E0SQL kommer att driva sidan och lovar att hålla den aktiv och uppdaterad. Det är redan en stor skillnad på antalet aktiva personer som lämnat information.

Satelliten ORARI (LAPAN-A2) har nu fått ett Oscar-nummer: IO-86. Läs mer nedan:

William (Bill) Tynan, W3XO, AMSAT-NA OSCAR Number Administrator has
