Oops, even I get lazy sometimes by not checking my references before
posting. :-) Microsat is actually a cube 230 mm (9 inches) on a side,
not including the whip antennas. It's still pretty compact, though.

An excellent collection of articles on Microsat and related topics can
be found in the recently published proceedings of the ARRL Amateur Radio
7th Computer Networking Networking Conference, held October 1 in
Columbia, MD.  Copies are $12 and can be purchased from ARRL, 225 Main
St, Newington, CT 06111.
