Just been looking at the tracking site http://www.n2yo.com/satellites
Some great stuff on this site and thanks for posting the URL to the bb.

At the bottom of the amateur radio satellite page there is a listing for
OPS9328
(IDSCS 15)

Were they ham satellites, I don't recal reading about them.
Is this just a simple mistake in the listing?

Hi John, G7HIA

The OPS9328 launched in 1967 was not an amateur satellite as
you can read here.

By the way it is possible that the downlink frequency was very close
to the 2 meters band but I was not able to find any information about
the frequency.
