Prism Ham radio service is active

Posted on by

The last prism mission is now active. This is specially for Ham radio operators. PRISM’s downlink has been received among amateur radio operators since the launch of PRISM. This HAM Radio Service allows amateur radio operators to uplink messages to PRISM as well as downlink messages from PRISM. In other words, amateur radio operators can use PRISM as a message box.
