[amsat-bb] Japanese Asteroid Mission To Carry Amateur Radio

[M5AKA]

I'm told they will have a Facebook page active soon. That should provide an opportunity to ask the team questions. 

At maximum distance signals are clearly going to be very weak, it may even prove challenging for Moon bounce capable stations.

Hi,

Will be possible to operate with a simple satellite station (vhf & uhf yagis with preamps)? 

How strong the signals can be at this distance? That's farway a lot more than the satellite I use today :)
