The cost of a launch has been a problem since day one of our space program
and will remain a problem until there are many paradigm shifts. But the
longer it is business as usual, the cost to orbit a satellite will remain
high. Not but a few months ago we were celebrating on the blog so many
birds being launched and they were - and they are in orbit (in operational).
For all of us now and for everyone in the past that want to communicate with
OSCARs it is a long slow path to routine. But if it was routine we would
find ourselves taking OSCAR communications for granted just like 20 meters.
Who on the blog has an idea for cheaper launch and think about HEO too?
How about you BJ?

Hi to the list,
i hope somebody can help me to solve the problem.
I on a Kenwood TS-790E Radio, the UHF and the VHF Antennas
Connected to the radio.
I have bought a dongle USB that I use to receive the AO-73 and the UKUBE.
The problem I have is when I have the antennas connected to the radio
And want to listen on the Dongle, I have to disconnect the antenna from the
Radio an connect it to the dongle and vice versa if I want to listen from
the radio.
I would like to know if there is a way like a switch that I can commutate
the antenna on the
Utilizer I need at the moment.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
