Finally, the scarcity of HEO rides has\n> been a dark cloud over two of three up-coming HEO projects worldwide.

We should remember that the equation that solves for\n> 'fun' has 'experience' as one of its variables.

No other AMSAT\n> project would lend itself well to such a use.\n>\n> We should seek to make this not only an important part of the amateur\n> emergency toolkit, but also a must-have resource for schools around North\n> America. Just as ARISS offers schools a glimpse into life aboard ISS, a\n> 'Learning on the Edge' program could link students with people in remote\n> locations. It would train and equip people destined for remote locations\n> and would, with local ham help, equip schools to communicate with the\n> people in the field. These adventurers and scientists would make 1/2h\n> contacts with each of the schools in the network, explaining their work \n> and\n> the place they are in.\n>\n> 73, Bruce\n> VE9QRP\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
