[amsat-bb] Shin-En 2 transponder launch

[Robert McGwier]

So it is a demod/remod fsk data repeater?  Please give us more description
of the "F1D" transponder.


I cannot WAIT for the Virginia Tech super ground station to be up and
running.  My office is covered up in boxes with PoP  (pile of parts).  I
had hoped to have it up and running through 70cm before Thanksgiving.  Just
too much to do.
