If memory serves, we had the agony of losing several of his \ncaliber about the same time....I would assume (don't care to really \nknow), that some sort of politics were involved, but sure glad to see \nhim back!!\n\nThird, about the same time ECHO was proposed with an FM voice \nchannel. The mode, not the frequency is what I so adamantly objected \nto. It purportedly would attract new members to help promote the \norganization's well being. I said it would attract a bunch of 2 \nmeter mentality cry babies,\neasy-saters, never to advance above that level.....\n\nSee if you can find out from board members what ECHO did for our \nmembership numbers and/or donations to our larder...I can't.....\n\nThere is very little communication accomplished on Echo other than \ngrid square, name and callsign.\nThe technical challenge is equal to buying a 2 meter rig, and getting \non the numerous repeater strings around the country ?? world...\n\nI got on ECHO shortly after it was launched, and got chewed out \nbecause I was \"dominating the bird\" after maybe several minutes of \nCOMMUNICATIONS...\n\nAll ECHO communications seem to be here on the reflector, including \nthe basics: name, callsign and grid square......And the proponents \ncall that COMMUNICATIONS????\n\nAnd if NASA wants to promote 2 meter ham communications, let them do \nit...Why do some in our organization promote just that under the \nguise of AMATEUR COMMUNICATIONS and/ or education??\n\nHOGWASH!!\n\nIt was not my intent to prefer any frequency or combination of \nfrequencies, just give us ssb/cw with some sort of bandwidth to \nenable more than two users on a pass....\n\nThat said, I can certainly appreciate some user's concerns about the \nmode S vs mode C choice.\n\nGive me any of them...I'll kludge something together to get on it, \nand to me that is what will keep my interest...P3E, Eagle, I'm \nhoggish, I want them both!!\n\nNow if someone could find away to get the money back that was \nsquandered on ECHO, it would give the EAGLE pot a heck of a boost.\n\nI hate to make the statement, but I think AMSAT-NA is already down \nthe tubes, and AMSAT-DL is our only salvation.....\n\nOrchids for ESA's support of AMSAT-DL, and onions for NASA's attempt \nto lean on us!!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 73, Dave [email protected]\n Disagree: I learn....\n\n Pulling for P3E... \n\n\n-- \nNo virus found in this outgoing message.\nChecked by AVG Anti-Virus.\nVersion: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.12.2/442 - Release Date: 9/8/2006\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
