[HamSat] Are you QRV?

[KD7JYK DM09]

That I don't know, it's been a few years for me too, checking...

I was a member of AMSAT in the early 90's, here is their current status:

Doesn't look good, couple voice, couple digital, mostly non-functional.

AO-27 might be the best bet for most people with basic and inexpensive
equipment.

Here is another non-amatuer list I've been following for the past decade or
so:

Sound files are always fun:

Enjoy!
