[amsat-bb] 15-10m satellite transponders to be launched

[Hans BX2ABT]

I wonder is an NVIS antenna would be useful here. Unfortunately my 
AS-2259GR only goes up till 20 MHz (with tuner).

If successful, these will be the first use of 15 meters for a satellite uplink since RS-12/13 went silent in 2002.  Operation of the earlier RS birds enabled much DX to be worked on otherwise dead bands.  More info to follow.
