[amsat-bb] A test question!

[Graham Shirville]

Hi All,

I am preparing for a satellite talk and QO100 demo this Monday 8th July 
at the Milton Keynes Amateur Radio Society!

I have a slide that shows Oscar 7 as having been launched in 1974 and I 
am tempted to state that it is the oldest satellite in earth orbit that 
is still functioning! (not just the oldest Oscar) Would I be correct?

I will, of course, explain about how it was "out of service" for some 
years in the intervening 45.

many thanks
