I bet you chaps have a better phrase ... ******* limey! ... he he he ... \n\nObviously, you're well aware of the AO-7 situation but there are several stations that arn't and my intention was to make people aware of it.\n\nIf I have offended in any way, I sincerely apologise Bob.\n\nThis mail is CC'd to the Amsatr-bb - mine get there, since I'm rersponsible for it.\n\n73 John. <[email protected]>\n..................................................................\n\nFrom: [email protected]\nTo: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]\nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] FW: Oh - my - God - (AO-7 uplink power).\nDate: Sat, 2 Feb 2008 06:49:44 +0000\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n-------------- Original message -------------- \nFrom: [email protected] \n\n\nJohn/etc\nTo requalify- This is my capability! I use only the exciter IC-451 1-8W. I am acutely aware of the sensitivity of AO-7. However when attempting work footprint edge to footprint edge, I did run some power momentarily to find my down link. Yes John I have read all the available information regarding the history and operation of AO-7. John, I trust you will take the liberty to CC this email to the EU AMSAT reflector, their mail bounces back. I should have reread my initial post to the bb, as the context is not correct. My apologies to all for the justifyable outrage this has caused. I conscientiously make every effort to follow all the rules written and unwritten. I will look into the wet shoestring concept.\n \n--\n73 Bob W7LRD \nAMSAT member 28498 \nSeattle\n \n \n-------------- Original message -------------- \nFrom: john hackett <[email protected]> \n\n> \n> For those that don't understand power budgets on satellites - especially ailing \n> ones - *PLEASE* make the effort to read up on the subject - so you can honestly \n> say \"your\" operating *DIDN'T* shorten a particular satellites life ... or ... \n> you were *NOT* being an alligator ...
