Hi
The picture got stripped off by the BB software - I had a hunch, but I
tried anyway. I have put it here:

Bob,
Can the old Caller ID boxes still decode this as you used to have posted
on one of your MANY webpages? I haven't had any luck relocating that
page again. I don't have a need for a new Kenwood yet so that is the
reason I am asking.

Wow, I hardly remember that. I think they were 1200 baud
straight ascii and not AX.25 packets. I cant find any such page
either...

Any old TNC going back 20 years can be used to TX these
announcements when your Retransmission is on the air. They can
also be used to receive it if you are running any APRS software.
But few people run full APRS mobile with a PC anymore, since the
Kenwoods, Yaesu, and HAMHUD radios/devices make nice small
displays...

I had a question a couple of days ago from someone that thought all you
could do over the satellites was talk. I explained to him that there
were other things you could do but I'm sure I left out some things.
That got me thinking, though. I wonder how many people just aren't
familiar enough with satellites to know there are other things you can
do with them than just pick up a microphone and talk.
I've already started writing an article on what you can do with
satellites but I'd love to hear from all the users out there as to how
you operate over the birds.
Please respond directly to me at w4otn(AT)amsat.org.

Hi Bob and James,
Caller ID uses asynch so although the modem tones
are the same, you cannot use a caller ID box to
decode packet (which is synchronous.)

Sounds like a great topic Eric.
Thanks for thinking about it and following up. I look forward to the
article. Are you going to be able to make it to Atlanta later this month
for the Symposium?
Obviously I am interested in the the telemetry and understanding how the
satellite operates and adapts to changes in eclipse period and distance from
the sun.

I have the following antennas available, great for satellite work...
M2 antennas:
M2 EB-144 with Radial Kit
M2 EB-432 with Radial Kit
Olde Antenna Labs Circular Polarized 70cm antenna (see:

Eric,
As well you know, I consider the educational mission of our birds of
paramount importance. Don't forget to mention in your article how
they're being used in the classroom to teach a wide variety of subjects.
A few which come to mind:
orbital mechanics
basic electronics
Newtonian physics
geography
linguistics
meteorology
cryptology
thermodynamics
solar dynamics
radio astronomy
earth science
I'm sure I've left out quite a few areas, but my point is, there's far
more for us to do through ham satellies than simply whistle into a
microphone!

Dick,
I'm looking for something a little more than just HEO v. LEO. I'm looking for
modes of operation. While I'm excited about our next HEO opportunities I'm
not going to write a story discussing the benefits of either type of orbit as
this means little to a new operator (the target of my story) and does nothing
but stir up flame wars within the community (which doesn't do anyone any
good).
So far, people have discussed the telemetry and the physics of satellite
theory, the educational aspects, and portable operations. I'd love to hear
from someone on the use of PACSAT birds, APRS, and maybe some keyboard-to-
keyboard digital modes (PSK31 anyone?).

I got a decent down link signal return?from DO-64 on the first morning pass at
13 degrees elevation.
?
Considering my antennas are at only eight feet with ground clutter (trees and
buildings), the signal seemed about the same strength just after launch.
?
As usual, the first?half of the pass was the best signal strength wise.?
?
Waiting on the next pass at 52 degrees.?

Well, here are my APRS comments..
Any of the digital birds that can be operated in bent-pipe
digipeater mode can be used for real-time text messaging, status
reporting or position tracking. The current satellites that
have been used this way are ARISS,GO32,ECHO, and PCSAT.
Typical applications are:
1) Exchanging contacts and grids, and live demos
2) Position reporting on long trips from far places
3) Status reporting on long trips from far places
4) Data reporting from far places and experiments
In this last category, there have been ski-pole mounted WX
stations that have been placed in the Arctic and Antarctic and
reported back via amateur satellite, there was a truck driver
that drives the frozen rivers in the arctic circle that used
APRS via the satellites to let his wife know where he was.
We are making ocean floating buoys for student experriments in
environmental sensors. I am testing one in the attic of my
dad's house in Alabama, so I can keep track of the temperatures
(from here in Maryland) to make sure the heat is on, etc.. We
have a team going to Mongolia, and they will take an APRS
device, so they can send data and email.
Any APRS radio can send text messages and email from the radio
without even needing a PC. Just set the message and when a
satellite comes into view, it will be delivered. For any remote
world travelers, this has value, thought there has to be a
ground station in the same footprint to relay it into the global
APRS internet linked system.

Eric:
This is where the "beauty" of HEO satellites are seriously missed. Unlike
LEO satellite exchanges, HEO satellites promote true, long discussions with
hams in other countries creates genuine cultural exchanges - much more than
"just talking". I can cite chapter and verse of such past QSOs.

I had a question a couple of days ago from someone that thought all you
could do over the satellites was talk. I explained to him that there
were other things you could do but I'm sure I left out some things.
That got me thinking, though. I wonder how many people just aren't
familiar enough with satellites to know there are other things you can
do with them than just pick up a microphone and talk.
I've already started writing an article on what you can do with
satellites but I'd love to hear from all the users out there as to how
you operate over the birds.
Please respond directly to me at w4otn(AT)amsat.org.
