Great test!
Now the fun would be to get the UO-14 community to let us conduct a
pre-announced and well publicized on-the-air PSK-31 experiment just like
you did during a one day pass.  SOme station with  a few hundred watts
would tune to a given frequency on say 20m like  you did and key down the
entire pass.  ANYONE can participate by trying to transmit to you on 20m
and then seeing their donwlink on the bird...

Such an experiment would be in the spirit of amateur radio experimentation
and would be an ideal use of just one pass of this bird.  But the politics
would take a lot of stroking...
