Other Items
We are still in a Commissioning and Testing Phase of Echo. As we test various modes of the satellite I have tried to involve the users as much as possible. It is good for me to get more feedback, and it also allows everyone to enjoy trying the new modes as well. This should not be considered a normal operating "schedule" for Echo. We will not be having Tuesday Experimenters Days, that is just how it worked out this time trying to get everything tested.
Check back to this page for the latest updates, plans, and schedule. This and ANS is where I will put schedule information.
I will be off the air for the next few days trying to avoid Hurricane Ivan. Enjoy Echo in the meantime!
