I drove a bucket truck during My last few years at work . Had a wren build a nest in the boom one year .

[amsat-bb] satellite traffic
I have at times patiently awaited the pass of the ISS to work a different packet station only to miss the opportunity by the repeater being busy the entire pass by trying to deliver BBS mailbox messages to someone and that station never retrieves his mail . It's just one of those things We endure . I have been calling 2 HF traffic nets for several years and have attempted to pass traffic to someone in the same town as the message is to be passed to , only to have that station deny taking that traffic . Why would anyone check in to a traffic net and then refuse to handle local traffic ? Sometimes I just don't get it , but We hang in there regardless . 73's Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] transponder ?
I recall the actual birthplace of ARISsat-1 was SuitSat-2 . I may be mistaken. However after following the progress , I never recall it's intentions of being a SSB Transponder . It seems the two ssb birds that are in orbit and useable do not get near the traffic the FM birds get . There is only one digital sat working which sees a lot of traffic . I enjoy the digital birds much more than listening to rag chew on voice . There is always HF and VHF repeaters for ragchewing . I really would prefer a digipeater on the Lunar surface . And someone could set up a link from the in orbit sats so We could skip from RS0ISS to other satellites . But I applaud the crew that built ARISsat , it would have been one great machine for the entire Ham community. Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] gps accuracy
In regaurds to gps accuracy , You must remember to give the unit sufficient time to update the correct coordinates . Usually takes one minute of stationery movement to get the correctly display . While searching for survey corners , I was actually walking past or over monuments because the gps unit was not keeping up with My steps . If You are trying to confirm four courners , It's going to take You several minutes to correctly confirm 4 different coordinates . Just a thought . Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Thanks for the reply Peter, I am not a school teacher . lol I have a mere setup for a satellite station , FM only .

I have only downloaded 2 or 3 sstv pictures from Seeds 2 . That is with My controlled antenna and FM station . Is it so easy to receive sstv from Seeds ?

Actually the net control station would only have to confirm each station calling.Station info passed when calling and net control confirms station info .

My take on the field day sats: Why not some one on the East Coast and some one on the West Coast volunteer to operate as a net . That way there would not be the 2 way confusion .

I have many qsl cards from hams I have made contact with using packet on the ISS . I don't acknowledge a qso unless He acknowledges My call sign in return . What really takes the time from a pass is when someone has mail and doesn't download it from RS0ISS-11 mail box. Can't get to the repeater when it's trying to deliver mail . I find NO-44 active for packet , but doesn't get much traffic . It is very hard to reach at times , but still usuable . I agree also , psk31 would very much limit the contacts made on a pass. I use psk31 on FM and it is very quiet and pleasant to use , but don't think it would make a good digital format for satellite work . Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
