[amsat-bb] New FM repeater satellite planned: MEMESat-1

[George Henry]

No, broadcasting is EXACTLY what the rtl-sdr.com article lists as the
satellite's intended mission.

There are already more than enough smallsats that are using amateur
frequencies for questionable missions...  

Considering all the threats to our spectrum, we can ill afford to allow it
to be used for such frivolity.

Call it beacon. Perhaps a beacon more "useful" to amateur radio 
operators than some university bird beaconing a 9K6 GMSK stream of 
unknown format in the ham bands.
