Please read my email carefully: the scheduled SA-AMSAT payload operations are indeed suspended in totality, until we have completed the commissioning of the satellite (expected to be end-March / beginning Apr).

Hi
SO67 operations are not suspended. The satellite is still undergoing its commissioning phase so amateur operation is made available when there is a gap in the commissioning programme

TOO MUCH POWER in UPLINK

it9...@tin.it (IT9CHU) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 08:50:43 UT

I don't understand because many stations calling on satellite have to

the power budget reaching the RX on-board ?
In this way the satellite is monopolized by only one station for pass

SO-67 Schedule North America

j...@papays.com (John) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:25:21 UT

There was a pass for North America on 1/19 at 1612z. SO-67 was not
heard during that pass. Did anyone else hear it?

Dear Group members

I've changed the group settings as follows to curb the spam issue:

My appologies for not attending to this earlier.

Well the decision to use Google Groups is mindblowingly bad!
It is the absolute worst possible choice of mailing list platforms out
of the hundreds that are available.
