What is the purpose of digital store-and-forward functions on an amateur radio satellite?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. To hold digital messages in the satellite for later download
Store-and-forward satellites receive digital messages, hold them in memory, and download them later, possibly when over another part of the world. That lets stations far apart exchange messages.
Tip: Store now, forward later.
