If there were a HEO on the horizon there would be an incredible scramble for whatever it takes. I recall the initial days of AO-40 (sobsob). We became S band experts almost overnight! I still have my \"flame thrower\" antennas in mothballs. One interesting \"tweek\" would be to throw out a \"Suitsat\" type satellite every time they have a crew change. LIke a L/S LEO for few months to break up the garden variety. Maybe a MEO like RS-15. Back to my corner now. I am still rebuilding ALL my damn antennas, like rebuilding a NASA facility with the xyl in charge. I'll be on soon. \n73 Bob W7LRD \n\n----- Original Message -----\nFrom: \"Bob DeVarney W1ICW\" <[email protected]> \nCc: [email protected] \nSent: Monday, August 27, 2012 5:00:45 PM \nSubject: [amsat-bb] satellite activity and future sats... \n\nI am afraid you're right, Tom, and it pains me to admit it. I am not \nsure why activity has dropped off.. but I can say in my own case I lost \ninterest in satellite operating after AO-40 died and have gone on to \nother things ( EME ) to use the existing equipment I had. \n\n>From northern Vermont I can work pretty much all the active satellite \nops on the FM birds ( within my potential mutual footprint at least ) in \na weekend's worth of passes, so there was little incentive for me to \ncontinue. I _have_ gotten back into sat operating recently, if only to \nwork the cobwebs out of my station. \n\nI wonder how many satellite operators still have AO-10 or AO-13-class \nstations any more. I get the impression that many aspire to have a Yaesu \nFT-847, Icom 910, or TS-2000 and an Arrow antenna. If that much. I hope \nI am wrong. \n\nWe as a community need to revitalize things.. the future does NOT lie \nwith more Cubesats.. or if it does, then I want no part of it. We need \nto restore the legacy and primacy of AMSAT in space. I think if we could \nget another LEO bird in the air we would see activity increase dramatically. \n\nI've been an AMSAT member since 1980, albeit on and off, and been on the \nbirds since 1987 give or take. Some of my most fun moments were working \nthe Russian RS birds, believe it or not. I was also an AMSAT Area \nCoordinator for some years. I would love to participate in a dialogue of \nhow to get folks interested in satellite operating again, and/or \nrepresenting AMSAT at the local hamfests. But it might just echo the \ngeneral lack of interest in ham radio in general that I have observed. \n\nGuess I need to make a point of getting back on FO-29 and VO-52 more \noften... \n\n73 de W1ICW \n\n\nOn 8/27/2012 7:09 PM, Thomas Doyle wrote: \n> Clayton, \n> \n> The activity level on the linear sats is very low and does not seem to \n> be getting any better.
