SUMBANDILASAT SOON BACK IN AMATEUR RADIO MODE
SA AMSAT announced that SumbandilaSat will soon be back in the Amateur Radio
Mode. Currently Sunspace will re-program CR2 with a fix for the SA AMSAT
PTT problem . This is expected to be completed by mid May.
Programming of the Amateur Radio Payload will in future be carried out by
the CSIR Satellite Application Centre at Hartebeeshoek. SA AMSAT will work
with SAC to coordinate operational requests. More details on how to request
operation will be announced in the next two weeks and published on
www.amsatsa.org.za.
We will not be using googlegroups.

What�s happening amateur radio wise on Sumbandilasat lately? It would
be really great to see some amateur radio activity schedules again!
I�m in the process of writing the �Amateur Radio in Space� [ARiS]
column for Radio ZS and I�d really like to write of some good news.
