Hi Trevor, M5AKA

Indeed beginning from OSCAR-1 all amateur satellites carrying linear
transponders for CW and SSB communications to fill the above bands
following the IARU recommendations where built by AMSAT-NA , 
AMSAT-DL, JAMSAT in Japan , AMSAT-R in Russia, AMSAT-France
and AMSAT-India.

How many by AMSAT-UK ?
