Many university students spend their time in books, others manage to combine
their formal studies with hands-on experience. That is the case of some 300
European students who, next August, hope to see the launch of their dream: a
60-kilogramme satellite.

I would like to remind all subscribers to the amsat-bb that AMSAT has Field
Day
rules which are different than ARRL rules. If you wish to discuss ARRL rules
on
the -bb, then that is fine. However, AMSAT rules for Field Day specifically
state that you can only count ONE QSO per FM satellite in each mode that
satellite might be in.
Therefore, please don't confuse ARRL rules with AMSAT rules. I feel that
trying
to make as many contacts as possible on FM satellites is counter productive.
The reason that the AMSAT rule was made is because AMSAT members are typically
better equiped to make a satellite contact (better antennas, more experience,
possibly better radios/coax/linear/preamps). They can make their one contact
and get out of the way so that those participating in the ARRL field day will
'HAVE A CHANCE' to try and make their one satellite contact for the bonus
points.
We made the rule to help ARRL participants to get the 100 point bonus, not to
try and hinder them. Please keep this in mind during your discussion. If you
want to make as many contacts as possible, please consider AO-7, FO-29, VO-52
and any other digital/ssb/cw bird.
