Dear LF group,
I know, it is
rather outside of a regular LF/MF issues,
however i thought it would be interesting to some
readers...
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 .

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 :)
