Thanks Ron for the appreciative note. The payload is powered on now and the first reception reports from the locations I mentioned in my email is eagerly awaited.

 Hi Nitin,
 
    I'm slowly setting up for satellite
 APRS as I believe it may be the
 best option
 for very short emcomm messages to/from our isolated
 northern communities (HF has been useless at
 the bottom of the solar
 cycle).  Another
 APRS satellite is great news.  Thanks!
