    "content": "I agree that the challenge of VUCC, and possibly DXCC would be minimized. Operating LEO’s does provide a real sense of \naccomplishment. \n\nBut the advantages of having a geostationary hamsat are so many—and just beginning to be explored. I’m certain that within a year or two, we’ll be amazed at what hams accomplish with Es’hail-2. As you mention, for EMCOMM it could be a god-send. \n\nI really wasn’t complaining. It’s a tremendous thing—regardless of which country managed to pull it off. Without the efforts of AMSAT since the beginning, none of this would be possible. \n\n73,\n\nLes Rayburn, N1LF\nMaylene, AL \nEM63nf\nAMSAT #38965, ARRL Life Member, CVHS Life Member, SVHF Member\n\n\n\n\n> On Feb 13, 2019, at 4:28 AM, Kenneth P Alexander <[email protected]> wrote:\n> \n> Hi Les,\n> \n> I think Amsat would love to put something like this up there, but I think it comes down to how deep your pockets are, I suspect the people behind Es'hail-2 have a little more free cash than Amsat does.  That said, I would think ARES types would go crazy for 24/7 access to a satellite, not to mention other disaster relief types.  Maybe Amsat needs to be approaching them (if they haven't already) to sell them on the benefits of continent-wide radio coverage with portable equipment and no need to worry about changing propagation conditions.\n> \n> Myself, I would miss the challenge of predicting satellite orbits and manipulating handheld antennas to aim at satellites as they pass over.  Operating through a geostationary satellite presents a technical and financial challenge to build or acquire the necessary equipment.  After that it sounds to me like we're just picking up the phone to talk to someone.  VUCC, DXCC etc. could probably be banged off in a weekend.  Not quite the same feeling of accomplishment.
