They almost broke the VHF antenna off several times. The UHF antenna probably was on there and it's floating in space somewhere. Looks like the loading coil is on there for it. Wonder how much it will cost to reinstall a 70cm antenna now that it has been deployed? Oh well, I'm sitting here monitoring 145.950 waiting for the next pass to see if I can receive the SSTV broadcast.

seems not a very professional deployment... or maybe the satellite should be more rugged next time...

Is the entire spacewalk video available anywhere on the NASA site or elsewhere?
