Yep, amazing what some altitude can do for your coverage!

Subject: [amsat-bb] Strange orbit



Yesterday some not ham satellites were launched, classified as O3Bxx.

They have equatorial 7800 Km height orbits, with amazing coverage.

Take a look at http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm?satx=43232 and click on icon to
see coverage.

Wish some day we hams could have that kind of orbit.
