Hi Folks!
I have now completed processing the 1st batch of UO-11 Birthday reception

its these reports that I have processed.
Please see the two links on the page:

one for the reports themselves, and one for the page from which to download
your QSL card.
If you havnt yet submitted a report, you can still do so at
http://www.uk.amsat.org/uo-11/report.php
This page will remain open until the end of March for further reports.
If you have already submitted a report, but dont submitt further ones,
unless they are significantly different from the first (eg on a different
band)
I'll be processing another batch of cards in a few days time.

Status: No uplinks currently
This from Alberto E. Zagni - I2KBD on November 26,2003:
I can confirm that IO-26 is still in Safe Mode (MBL telemetry).
We have some problems to uplink the full IHT software, probably
due to an unfavourable attitude of the spacecraft.
Until the IHT (high level code) is reloaded, NO digipeat will
be possible, since it is part of the IHT multitasking code.
All the best
Alberto E. Zagni - I2KBD
