Hi all,
Having posted out my congratulations to all involved in the success of the  
launch which was very impressive
and tribute to the many parties concerned.
I would like to add congratulations also to the project teams involved with 
 the payloads and of course they
concern many aspects of research as well as our amateur satellite  projects.
I was pleased to also learn of the success of the activation  of AAUSAT-3 
which I understand has far exceeded expectations in the first  24 hours of 
operation.  Congratulations to all concerned.
I do not know if others are aware but the project team were at one point  
willing to offer to approved radio
amateurs a "Blue Box" to participate in the work that they are carrying  
out.
A very nice gesture and good luck to anyone having the good fortune to be  
part of this data gathering.
