That said, I would\nthink ARES types would go crazy for 24/7 access to a satellite, not to\nmention other disaster relief types. Maybe Amsat needs to be approaching\nthem (if they haven't already) to sell them on the benefits of\ncontinent-wide radio coverage with portable equipment and no need to worry\nabout changing propagation conditions.\n\nMyself, I would miss the challenge of predicting satellite orbits and\nmanipulating handheld antennas to aim at satellites as they pass over.\nOperating through a geostationary satellite presents a technical and\nfinancial challenge to build or acquire the necessary equipment. After\nthat it sounds to me like we're just picking up the phone to talk to\nsomeone. VUCC, DXCC etc. could probably be banged off in a weekend. Not\nquite the same feeling of accomplishment. Anyway, that's just me. I'm\nsure many others can't wait!\n\n73,\nKen Alexander (still VE3HLS)\nSo Phisai, Thailand\nBlog: bueng-ken.com\n\n\nOn Wed, Feb 13, 2019 at 9:57 AM Les Rayburn <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> :-)\n>\n> After listening to the WebSDR of Oscar-100 for nearly 24 hours now, it’s\n> easy to imagine how my parents must have felt on October 4, 1957 as Sputnik\n> transmitted it’s “beep beep beep” message to the world.
