Recently, i got an info about Tubesat Satellite Kit: http://interorbital.com/TubeSat_1.htm { please, read also the pdf file for more details, especially about hardware and software already included in this Kit } Ok, due to its price ( 8.000 US$) - for me, it is simply a sort of "entertainment" being amateur radio related, however, i can imagine a construction of uplink/downlink setup onboard a satellite including miniwhip antenna for RX'ing of LF/MF signals and sending them back to earth on 70 cm band ( one could chase his/her own signal playing with Doppler etc.. or simply make a qso...) Of course, the above price covers rocket launch . 73 de Piotr, sq7mpj qth: Lodz/jo91rs/ p.s. i just thought i could throw-in a 'penny' , say, 100 $ so adding other 79 members ( i mean , their penny) of this group and we may have our "LF/MF toy" in space :)
