   Hi All!   
      
   Outernet had a sales, and I bought a Outernet SBC/SDR for 39 USD.   
   Just arrived, and seems nice.   
   It is a ARM computer with 512 MB of RAM and an RTLSDR built in.   
      
   They also sent me a L-band antenna that would cost 25 USD for free ...   
   Maybe an error on their side, maybe they had too many lying around?   
      
   Sadly they removed most information from their website:   
   https://outernet.is/   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outernet   
      
   There are 2 SD card images available, ARMbian (normal linux) and Skylark   
   (which is their hit on the outernet file   
   distribution).   
      
   They pay for a small channel on 3 satellites and transfer some information   
   over them.   
   They broadcast approx. 20 MB of data. (Wikipedia articles, news, APRS   
   messages, ...)   
      
   Anyways ... it was definitely worth the 40 USD to me, for the HW alone.   
   It can be used as a normal SDR, and it has an L-Band LNA and filter port as   
   well.
