[amsat-bb] Re: Need some help with AO-27, AO-51 and SO-50 dimensions

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

They are all three 150mm on a side, and share a -very- common heritage. Can 
you send me the URL for the page that lists 27 as 25x25x25?

PS FO-29 is also Mode J, but is a transponder instead of a FM repeater.
