Re: bugs bugs everywhere bugs



Hi Bruce,

Thanks!  I'm probably most proud of the Chart of Satellite Frequencies page.
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/frequencies.php

I am always frustrated when I hear a signal I can't identify on a 
satellite frequency and have to go through many web pages to try to 
identify where it may be coming from.  This was actually a very easy 
page to generate once the data was in the database.

As for P3E and any "future" satellite the dates are of course 
speculative.  Someone in Germany wrote to me and indicated that it is 
the "planned" date, but AMSAT-DL has not yet signed a contract for a 
specific launch.  The satellite should be completed ahead of that 
time so I suspect the launch date will be refined in the coming 
months.  However since AMSAT-DL is the prime "contractor" for P3E any 
formal announcements should come from AMSAT-DL, after which I'll make 
the appropriate updates here in North America.

73,

Emily
