N0JY turned over operation to N8MH and AMSAT Operations in a QSO on the AO-91 repeater during the pass over the Eastern U.S.
N8MH responded and declared AO-91 open for amateur use!
With the successful launch and impending activation, of AO-91, now is a good time to join AMSAT and receive a digital copy of "Getting Started with Amateur Satellites" for free! Visit https://t.co/XkA44YOTsR and help us Keep Amateur Radio in Space. #amsat #arrl #hamradio pic.twitter.com/Wakzm095TS

“BY70-1 is a 2U CubeSat project for education and Amateur Radio. It features 3-axis stabilization and deployable solar panels. In addition to the FM transponder, BY70-1 has a camera, and plans call for downloading images and telemetry via a 9600 bps BPSK downlink. The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination pages list an uplink of 145.920 MHz, and a downlink of 436.200 MHz.”[ 1 ]New Amateur Radio FM Transponder CubeSat Now in Space https://t.co/TQESWPg5zs #ARRL #HamRadio #CubeSat #AMSAT pic.twitter.com/I10CDswBWJ
