Hi Scott! There is nothing like your 1st contacts! Congrats, and welcome to
the addiction :)
Oh, so you know--attachments are removed as they go through the list server, so
we can't see it...it'll take posting at another site and a link.
You landed great 1st and 2nd contacts..nice work.
I always wondered how folks on a Caribbean cruise kept track of their
reciprocal licenses. Leaving Florida the fcc license is good. Then you might
hit international waters where the license needs to go with the ships
registry, historically Liberia or Panamanian. Then the question is keeping
track
Oscar 11 launch date: Mar 1, 1984
I have a special place in my memory for Oscar 11. It was launched on the
same day that my eldest daughter was born. Both have performed very well
I think for the past 27 years. And last week mother and I were given the news
that she (daughter, not UO-11) is
In order to avoid that problem, and because the cruise is more than just
an opportunity to ham, I just did all my hamming while at sea in
international waters with my Bermuda reciprocal license (ship registry).
From a satellite operating perspective, there were only a few times a day
to do
I really think your best bet is instead of looking to other people who have
been on cruise ships. Try to contact a ham on a lake freighter. Contact them
on H.F. I believe they have a net also. When my H.F. station was up and
running I have had some contacts with ships.

Darn,
I was hoping the news was that we were going to get Oscar 11A in 9 months.

I have to postpone the trip as the road is closed today. Will try again

So much for advanced planning! AO-51 is still not experiencing full
sunlight, most likely due to spacecraft orientation and sun angle.
Therefore, we will change to normal operational mode on March 3,
until further notice. That means we'll be continuing the V/U repeater
at its current power level
Clint,
As long as our engineers are sitting down and designing something for us,
they can call it what they want. I think the term Fox is OK in my book.
I don't see any F only in the naming scheme. (all in jest, Clint)

The AMSAT Fox CubeSat bus will include both an analog FM

The software guys, being mostly of the Unix persuasion lobbied for

There were a few Windows guys who wanted
AMSAT-Fox came out as a compromise.
OK, but please lets not call it AMSAT Fox News if we want anyone to trust us.
