<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Based on this presentation, Andreas Bilsing DL2LUX invited him to write an article about this subject for the AMSAT-DL Journal. The article, Eine tragbare Mehrzweck-Satellitenstation, was translated from English to German
by Andreas and appeared in the March 2012 issue of the AMSAT-DL Journal. The English version of the article appeared later in two issues of OSCAR News of AMSAT-UK (July and September 2012). These AMSAT-UK publications are available to E-membershere.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The original English text can now be read on the link below (not all pictures appeared in the article in OSCAR NEWS). Please be informed that the status of the satellites mentioned in the article is not updated since
the article was written! If you are interested in working satellites as a portable station, Google can give you more webpages about this subject, for example a similar setup of KB5WIA.
