VK3JED SunSat Article (was Re: [amsat-bb] Start for Beginners on the menu, Confusing????)

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

Although SunSat has long since failed, I felt Tony's article on SunSat had 
some excellent unique perspectives for beginners on the subject of working 
LEO satellites. So we retained it in the beginner's section realizing that 
Tony will likely want update it after AO-51 becomes operational (hint, 
hint).  The only information that was updated was Tony's contact 
information and link were removed that pointed to long since gone Sunsat 
websites.

Many of the points Tony makes are still valid for operational satellites 
(AO-27, SO-50) and will be for Echo.

73,

Emily
