[amsat-bb] Re: The need for telemetry data -or what happened to FO-29-

[Rob Hardenberg]

Stefan,

This system is working for any unproto packet satellite. I'am feeding all my received packets to
the aprs2 network. This way anyone connected can see the received telemetry.
See the libertad cubesat: http://www.db0anf.de/hamweb/aprsdb/showdata.php?cfrom=5k3l

It would be nice when more radio amateur would do this
