official observers were volunteers, not federal employees. Your comment "For

My biggest pet peeve is all the bad advice on FM satellite operation. It
sets the wrong expectation for many a new ham. You don't need a
sophisticated OSCAR station with full tracking. At the same time, don't

Clint, Checked out your site today, and I appreciate you putting all that

While I'm not a newcomer to satellite communications (six years in the navy
on a frigate), I am a newbie to amateur satellite communications and like
most, I had no idea where to turn as there is so much stuff out
Isn't that the source of satellite near-miss information ?

That's really too bad. Maybe you and she got into this aspect of the hobby with
different
expectations: No, it is not going to be an "easy shot" when we just have this
(and the ISS)
as the only "easy-to-work" FM birds.
I tried that. And I can assure you both I was very polite. My first attempt was
replied to with three words, all in caps and exclamation points. I took that as
being yelled at. Then later when the person was 'speaking' to me again, I tried
a second time with more better detail to very politely e
Amen!

Getting an OO involved would be a waste of time, they have no more authority
to do anything than you or I.
As long as we have these self proclaimed Satellite Instructors neglecting
the benefit of Full Duplex operation, and the guy that thinks he must talk
to every station on the bird, the problem
I may be mistaken but wouldn't instances like this be viable candidates to
notify an ARRL Official Observer about? They are there to help educate
people about proper operating practices and nudge others who are pushing
the limits.

Let me clarify a little. Previous to SatPC32 being the ubiquitous way to
operate the transponders, people tended to spread out much more on the linear
sats. CW was generally in the lower third to maybe middle, and voice was often
spread out over much more of the passband. Now...I love Sat PC32,
John, it's not just the west coast... There is one in the middle of the US that
does about the same thing. On the linear birds, he calls over top of others who
are already trying tomake a call. And he also tends to act like a 'grid traffic
controller' on SO-50 with unnecessary chatter. Especiall
We hear the same thing on the east coast. The same guys believe it is a net
for them pass after pass.

I've had NO difficulty getting primers, powder, bullets, and brass.
Yes, you'll pay more than a few years ago, but the pipeline for supplies
is almost back to normal, you just have to search, and be ready to buy
when you find a supplier who has what you want.

My daughter, who is a new ham has just given up on trying SO-50. 5 times now
she has set up the station to work someone and the moment she unkeys, there is
someone calling and not listening. We here, have a TS-2000 with az-el setup and
2 yagis with auto tracking. I totally agree with the comment
The Preppers for the Zombie Apocalypse...you can't find or afford
primers or powder anymore either!

Greg,
Two years ago, I had about $1k worth of damage done to my car fuel system by

As yet the project has no launch but hopes to be able to get a free one from
