Geostationary ham radio satellites

EngineerIT magazine reports on the quest by radio amateurs to get
transponders on geostationary satellites

The article quotes President of AMSAT DL, Peter Gülzow DB2OS, and
describes the transponders planned for the geostationary Es’Hail-2
satellite, expected to be operational in 2017 at 26 degrees East.

Also mentioned is a project to build a transponder for a US satellite
which could be in a geosynchronous orbit around 74 degrees West.
