[amsat-bb] TLM comparison.

[John Hackett]

John,
        You may well be right at that.

How's Robert (G8ATE) chugging along?. I read he's been getting quite a bit of attention Stateside of late re: the Oscar anniversary award ... canny old bugger!.

FYI ... I'm in direct contact with the Amsat-ru 'remnants' (Alex himself) - or what's left of 'em. I'm trying to convince them to work on a project with GM1SXX (the other half of "the twisted pair") and myself. 

You'll no doubt have fond memories of the RS series of satellites.

Many an op got his feet wet on one of those. The ROBOT's being a sorely missed feature.
