Amateur Radio Satellites

A passion of mine is trying to communicate with other radio amateurs via amateur radio satellites.

For me the 'holy grail' would be to access via Oscar 7, a relic of the seventies that was thought to be dead but burst back into life a few years ago. With less less power than the average household light bulb, powered only by aging solar panels and only operating with in sunlight not eclipse, it's a challenge I WILL conquer one day soon!
