Wow a whole 60,000? So how many of the rest of us couldn't hear it? I
honestly think it's great what you do for the satellite hobby Clint. At
least for the part of it that likes to user HT's and handheld antennas
exchanging grid squares on flying repeaters. At the same time I get

What have you done to promote AMSAT and how many people outside of nthe

I consider the reports of "missionaries" to be a promotion of ideas on
how to spread the word.

OK then, I have a legitimate satellite question. Is Fox 2 going to be a
linear bird? See, I have some confusion on this. I could swear I read
somewhere that it was yet another flying repeater just like Fox 1 is but
then someone here told me I was mistaken. Since you're here Tony, I
thought I

Hi Michael
You're in luck. The Phase 2 Fox series are based on the SDX transponder as
tested on ARISSat-1 and not your favorite "flying repeaters."

You can already find out more about the prototype maximum power point
tracker that will be used to power the software defined transponder on
Fox-2!

Hi Michael,
Good question. I think I can clear this up.
The main point of Fox-2 is to develop and fly an

Perhaps that was a legitimate question hiding in there, but I read most of that
as cheap shots at Clint. Will you please let it rest? You don’t have to like
him, but I’d appreciate some positivity.

The CubeSats, NanoSats, PicoSats, and even the behemoths that cost millions are
pretty damn cool. I’m so excited that there are so many opportunities above our
heads now in amateur radio! Soon there will be too many of them for any single
individual to ever touch.

I'm glad Mode J is on the agenda. Most of the birds that have launched
recently and are scheduled to launch in the near future have 2m
downlinks. Here in Southwest Washington, DC, about a mile from the
Capitol, there's an awful lot of QRN on 2 meters. 70cm downlinks are
much easier to hear. There i
THAT is why I like amateur radio, ALREADY there are more things to do
than I will ever be able to do in my lifetime!
It's an ADD person's dream hobby! :-)

Hold on. Not once did I ever suggest that ANY satellite was "easy to
build". I very much respect the effort, research, testing, etc. that
goes into every one, be it a flying repeater or not. My reference to
the term "easysats" comes from Clint or one of his ilk that seems
determined to show
I'll just say this Kevin. I was a "newbie" to all this a few short years
ago too but you know what I did, I figured it out. I had no "Elmer" to
guide me and I didn't need anyone like Clint holding and HT in one
hand and an antenna in the other doing a demo to show me how " easy" it
was. In
OK I do apologize, as was pointed out I completely misread your wording in
the original email. While my facts still stand on the challenges of
building the satellite I stand corrected on your argument. Sorry!

Hi Michael,
Yes, I think pushing people to learn for themselves and discover the deeper
technical concepts should certainly be encouraged. But consider this. There are

Hi!
The first day of the two-day Yuma Hamfest in southwestern Arizona
was a great day. A huge crowd showed up as the hamfest opened
at midday, there was steady traffic through the main hall where my
AMSAT booth was located, and I had a nice crowd watch and listen
to a demonstration on AO-7 in
