Fonfident what everyone needs is another opinion, I am going to throw my two cents in: I don't see beaconing any more as brodcasting than calling CQ. ________________________________________ From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] on behalf of Daniel Lind [kf1...@gmail.com] Sent: 05 June 2011 22:42 To: 'Jeremy Bomkamp'; amsat-bb@amsat.org; 'Kevin Deane' Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Broadcasting
All, If I am broadcasting with my beacon on, I am sorry, if I see a friend pop on and I send him a message, sorry again. I am a newish ham and built my own cable to make my ft7800 able to do packet. No my car it has a tiny track and as it is parked it sends out a burst, just like all the aprs repeaters on 144.390 broadcasting away to any one who will listen. I am thinking that if you are upset that I am taking the seconds away from you at 5am PST to send a message on something that I built and out the J pole I made. Again I am sorry, but I think that isn't the issue. It's the fact that we are doing it with low end equipment that a Tech license allows us to use. When the new crew arrive on the 9th, there will be 2 more ham guys, and you can bet your $$$$$$$$ equipment that I will take out my ft 60 and make a nice QSO like I have before. Sorry for the rant but, there ya have it. PM me if you really have any issues.

You never really expect a response from anyone, and what true purpose does the digi on the ISS perform? Most of it is amateurs BROADCASTING their locations, no emergency traffic, the only real protocol is to ID and no swearing which both KF7MYK and KF7BUZ complied with, at least it wasn't HI HI, roger, roger _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
