At the same time Bdale was giving his AMSAT-UK talk Steve Fraser, 
sfraser@sierra.apana.org.au, was putting together a much needed AO-40 FAQ 
the link to which he posted to amsat-bb last week.  The RUDAK team got 
together and greatly expanded the info Stave had collected on RUDAK and has 
provided that to him.  I understand he is waiting for some updates to other 
sections before updating the entire text.  I hope it will answer most if 
not all current questions about RUDAK and its future.  Perhaps Steve can 
also update the RUDAK section with info from Bdale's talk.
