Work with the AMSAT P3D satellite:

- experimenting with my equipment during orbit 728 (this report is in Finnish)

- running some experiments on S band with my 3 m dish (73k) (passband noise floor (10k) vs. cold sky)

- In Orbit Testing of the K band transmitter in orbit 396 (09.09.2001)

- Monitoring the launch cosily at home at 0307 AM local time on Thursday, November the 16th.

- Testing the RF and Microwave payloads during the launch campaign in Kourou, French Guyana

- Maintaining the AMSAT-OH website. AMSAT-OH is a subdivision of the Radio Amateur Technology Society

- Building lots of RX and TX equipment in preparation for working The Bird ;-)

- My very last visit to the P3D integration laboratory in Orlando between 10.10.99 - 21.10.99

- More work with the team in Orlando from 11.06 to 21.06.1999

- Running further RF tests on the P3D Satellite with colleagues in Orlando, Florida, Spring 1999

- Testing of P3D Satellite RF equipment during Thermal Vacuum in Germantown, Maryland, Autumn of 1998

- reintegration of AMSAT-OH 10 GHz flight hardware onto the Phase 3 D satellite, Spring of 1998

- prototyping bits and pieces for the radio amateur Phase 3 D satellite 10 GHz transmitter (more here)

- installation of the AMSAT-OH 10 GHz high power flight model transmitter onto Phase III D spacecraft in 1997

- some notes on circular polarisation in Finnish

- L-band up/S-band down experimenting with simple can feeds on dishes
