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 :)
