[amsat-bb] Shin-En 2 transponder launch

[jh3xcu at arrl.net]

I do not know the details.

It seems that;
The transponder is a part of the design.
But, under the Japanese regulation, it can not be use.
It will take a long time for the negotiation with Internal Affairs and Communi
cations Japan.
So, they gave up the use of transponder.
