Appreciate that Pierre ,

But looking at the URL it does state the Operational OSCAR Satellite Status Summary.. 

It does not state any date, apart from a copy right that dates 2004 - 2006 that is seen as misleading maybe..

What I would like [if possible] in reality what is available / in use / in the real world….

I would like to disseminate this in brief notes in our VHF Scene in our National association magazine…

PS over the years, many contacts on OSCAR 6 and 7A + 7B both modes … 7B only recommended narrow modes – but with varactor tripler slipped the odd FM contact in …

Best DX out of ZL into ZL5TAA [operater Ted ZL2TAX orbit 9679] on OSCAR 7 mode B - 1976 – and KC4AAA with OSCAR 6 before that .. many others 

DL on a A0-40 – 7minute window – 13cm – 70cm downlink / uplink … QSL’s in the shoe box..

A bit about myself to the reflector – not sure how many on – thanks again Pierre

Have a look at the Amsat NA site: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/status.php

I think all the info you need.

New to SAT – BB (one week)

Could I please ask – how many SATs are currently active carrying transponder for amateur radio voice communication. 

And the designators as called (such as AO-7, AO-51 etc) and which SATs are linear (SSB / CW) and non linear (FM) 

Regards,
Stephen ZL1TPH
