[amsat-bb] Re: Subject: Was, Is there anyway to get a linear transponder on the ISS?

Keep in mind that there are many great folks working behind the scenes on

great example of dedicated folks working on our behalf. Things happen in
due time. You can always contact your ARISS rep for your region and get
updates.
