Hi all thanks Bernard,
If you follow up the report in view of the costs and other factors. One
of the options for an ATV future was for a use of recovery of debris and
satellites.
Whilst the cost may be considerably high for such a development, I thought
that it would be very interesting
Hi Philip,
Happy to hear you are getting active again! Great.
One small precaution, based on personal experience during Field Day---be
careful about creating expectations that can't be delivered...in other words,
using the handheld system to listen to an FM bird is pretty easy, but on Field
Thanks, Mark. I've already made it clear to the other club members NOT to
expect a successful sat QSO.
I'm going to make sure that my audience knows that too. One hands-on
activity that I came up with (and I was already contemplating letting
someone else use the Arrow, maybe a repeat visitor who

Great idea, how about putting AO-40 1st on the list? Thanks,

THE FOLLOWING COMMENT IS FOR NEXT YEAR!
Has anyone considering re-examining the FM satellite rule? I would like to
propose the following:
Contacts on the FM satellites can only be made
Phillip,
You have already gotten really good advice from others on FD operation, but I
will offer one nugget from my experience: if you feel the pressure to make
that one satellite contact for the club, here is my recommendation for the
highest probability for success:
- pick an ascending
Wont work because there would be a 1000 ops calling 1 station,and field day is
about contacting many stations but on staellites only 1 contact is needed for
300 points. Make the 1 contact and shut down your satellite station and let the
rest of us have our 1 contact and shut down also.
I hope

Every FD site will usually have APRS on line. Remember, you can contact any
other FD site in the world on your APRS channel. (144.39 in North America).
Just send them an APRS text message.
Of course, this assumes you know their callsign. To facilitate learning who
else is on the air, send a CQ
Hi All,
I am planning a similar operation with the Tri-County ARC (WC5C). There
are a few of us who get on satellite and we are going to bring out all
manner of antennas from Arrows to Lindenblads to small yagis to big
yagis, and while having a reliable station with the bigger antennas

Hi Joe!
We have been able to do it with a handheld for the last 5 years. But we may
have geography in our favor :-)
If I pick my battles (passes) right, I also benefit from geography here in the
southwest. I won't even bother with any AO-27 passes to the east of me, and
will hope to sneak in
For Field Day, I will be looking to help out with contacts, Especially
late at night, I chase grids so I am used to being up late at night on
the lonely passes.
I plan to concentrate on the linear satellites but SO50 is flying over
the US late at night so I will try it as well. those that are

Don't forget that a good way of coping with the crowds on the linear birds is
to use CW. These aren't just SSB birds, you know, and you may get some of the
CW ops interested in satellite operation. I think that the linear birds are so
much more useful for FD than the FM birds that I encourage
