[amsat-bb] Re: Request for a file of amateur satellite frequencies

Hi,
Not quite the answer to the question or containing the information that was 
 being pursued
The UDS_Satellite_Database is a very comprehensive list of satellites  
launched or constructed with other 
background information,
I am mentioning it because it is in an  "EXCEL" format and could  therefore 
be used as tool and starting point
to edit and or add the information required.
I did attempt to do something on these lines a few years ago especially as  
on our 80 metre Amast-UK net
information we usually get asked about satellite details.
The problem was and still is, managing such a list bearing in mind that we  
now have many " cubesats"
being launched.   Quite a number are not listed or classed  as an "Amatuer 
Satellite " status but still have many  followers  -  from what I gleam on 
the BBS.
The source and release of information on the status or operation of some of 
 the satellites has been very difficult to pursue, thus keeping  any 
proposed file updated is perhaps beyond its manager at the  moment.

Ps.  I trust that all goes well for the gathering in Florida  and that the 
approaching hurricane does not
       cause to many problems especially with  travel and the proposed 
tours.
