Has anyone got their QSL cards from contacts with Charles ? If not does anyone have any idea when we will get them ?

I sent another message to AMSAT about the qsl for suitsat. Here is the latest reply dated 5-24-2007
Hello Terry,

The SuitSat certificates are being printed by Goddard Space Flight Center, and should be done within a week. I apologize for the delay. The volunteer who was in charge of this project had a job change at NASA, and became incredibly busy during the past 8 months. It should be like a DXpedition QSL card, I think -- well worth the wait.

After a year and a hlaf and 3 emails I got this answer.. In December they mentioned it was almost done

Enthusiasm was as strong as ever at the 56th Dayton Hamvention® at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio. Business was brisk among the hundreds of vendors in the indoor areas, despite generally excellent weather outside, which tends to draw hordes to the outdoor flea market area.

ISS amateur radio status report

Some short-term reconfigurations to the Kenwood radio, located onboard the International Space Station, were attempted yesterday, with limited success.

The preset channels that are used for many of the day to day operations are still inaccessible. The good news is that a few of the more commonly used configurations were able to be stored in the radio.

One of the modes that was able to be partially restored was the packet system but the operations will be on 145.825 simplex. General voice communication as well as configurations to support school contacts were also saved.

A full restore of the radio is still required to return full functionality of the radio system and that process will require access to a computer system and certification of the required software. This request is being worked but will take a significant amount of time to get all parties involved satisfied before the actual restoration can occur.
