Re: [amsat-bb] Special Bulletin - new satellite

[Dan Schultz <n8fgv@xxxxxxxxx>]

But others have posted here that the linear transponders on the FO birds
are silent, they call and only hear their own signal. If we build
another Mode J or Mode B low orbit satellite, will anyone use it?
Explain to me why FO-20 and FO-29 are not more popular..
