For those who don't know, Phase3D has been worked on for _years_. It is a remakable machine, allowing communications on several bands (frequencies). It has a large footprint that will allow it to be seen from the ground twice a day for most of Europe and the U.S. Go to AMSAT.org and listen if you have a scanner. Most, but not all of the bands are digital, but the signal should be strong enough to pick up with a cheap scanner and a good antenna. Good to see it finally up, now I gotta dig out the old radios.
