- The Goddard Amateur radio club retransmit NASCOM on HF.
- Are their transmissions only available while a Shuttle is up as I may
- want to test a scanner in the very near future.
- Thanks.

- UO-11 is UoSAT-2/OSCAR-11 from the University of Surrey. Launched over 10
- years ago but still going strong. No uplink for the "public" use,
- although the Digital Communications Experiment (DCE) was the first
- successful amateur satellite store-and-forward facility and linked packet
- networks in many countries.
- Still sends data on 145.826 MHz at 1200 baud including news bulletins,
- and is very easy to decode. This satellite has been extremely popular
- with school groups over the years because of the simplicity of the
- ground station needed.
-
- UO-14 is UoSAT-3/OSCAR-14, which was the first of the 9600 baud microsats.
- However it also carried a non-amateur package (a VITA project, I think)
- and eventually the bird was switched to 100% non-amateur use so that
- UO-22 could become 100% amateur, where it gave better service.
- There was also a UO-15, launched at the same time, but sadly it failed
- shortly after launch.

- It won't do it. You'll have to use logSat for windows if you want as much
- info as IT provides. To update, Add, sats just update file from an AMSAT
- FORMAT file. otherwise it will just dupe the current sats. It does not
- like any other format of keps. Logsat is available on C-serve hannet
- forum and AOL ham radio forum. Version 2.41 will be here soon. If
- registered it gives future scheduals etc. I have both programs and the
- LogSat is far superior to WinSat. That is a shame because winsat is
- pretty fast. I access from AOL so I dont know any othere way to get the
- program. Send me a disk and mailer and I'll make you a copy, less
- registration number.
- The author has written me that I should have 2.41 real soon.
