Buy Your Own Satellite

While AMSAT continues its march to oblivion, you could build and and launch your very own personal satellite for $8,000 US. That’s less than the price of a few of the highest-priced HF transceivers and certainly within the financial reach of many radio amateurs.

Unfortunately, the orbit decays over a few weeks so you’ll only have your sat for a month, tops unless you build some kind of propulsion system. Still, “BenSat I” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
