If newer hams were to see and understand the\nbenefits of a store-and-forward PacSat, I believe you'd see a level of\nsupport as strong as days passed. I have been playing with\nterrestrial packet and digital modes for 20 years and the thought of\nexchanging messages via satellite excites me. Unfortunately I did not\npartake in the PacSats' capabilities when they were functional.\n\n73\nClayton\nW5PFG\n\n\nOn Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Alan P.
