Fwd: SimSAT Airborne

[Metavox Inc]

The flight is completed and more detail is available at

http://www.patkilroy.com/simsat/

We provided a modified PCR-100 and SDR-IQ receiver to monitor and record 
the flight to AMRAD member Rich, N3III.

I am hoping we will hear how well the SDR can be used for this.
