[amsat-bb] Greater Orbit, Larger Footprint: An Introduction to the AMSAT GOLF Program

[Jean Marc Momple]

Paul,

Thanks for the info.

This is good news for us this side of the World as most birds are not really use due to small footprint.

I am active on most birds but only contact with ZS are regular, particularly with my good friend Andre (ZS2BK), also made a few QSO’s with India and with Thailand but most of the time I have the bird for myself and experimenting a lot with power, telemetry etc… Therefore larger footprint will make more QSO’s possible this side.
