They want a ground station, and have been asking SUSF. Maybe we could help?

They asked us to meet them a couple of weeks ago. They said they couldn't make it when we were meeting, and I haven't heard back since.

Shack in SUSU

  • Our old shack (office) is being turned into a meeting room.
  • Plan to try to get a corner in it for use as a shack when there's no meeting (or remote control when there is a meeting)
