Re: Government control has exceeded constitutionallimitations.

> Okay, but that doesn't answer the question on everyone's > mind... "Why now?" My guess would be because of the Chinese Anti-satellite attack that generated hundreds of big chunks and an thousands of tiny bits of debris a month or so ago.. Now they are watching very carefully and to see small stuff, you need to closer into the noise and not have any interference... And when you look closer and see ham signals, then maybe that is why they are now interested? Bob

Satgate System Closed
by Roy 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

After many years of packet message forwarding via UO-22, GO-32 and AO-51 the Satgate System will close due to a lack of traffic being handled. The total of thirty five worldwide stations in the system a few years ago has dwindled due to this lack of traffic, maintenance problems, change of QTH and Silent Keys. The system was begun long enough ago that I have lost track of the date. It was given birth by David Medley, KI6QE who was in California at the time. The chief Guru and driving force over the past partial decade has been Andrew Sellers, G8TZJ who gets credit for developing the software which permitted the Satgate stations to operate in fully automated mode. Traffic was accepted from the terrestrial packet network using BBS programs like the F6FBB program and routed to the satellites via the WiSP program. It was also downloaded from the satellite and routed into the terrestrial packet network untouched by human hands, all thanks to Andrew. My appreciation goes to David for establishing the Satgate System and to Andrew for his effort in keeping this Network going. Thanks also to the remaining few of the Satgates who will be shutting down. -- 73, Roy -- W0SL

25 Apr '07

Dear All, First of all, please my apologies for the bandwidth and off-topic posting. I would be glad if anyone could point me to an alternate email address of Dr. Robert Suding, W0LMD. I have attempted to send him a few emails to his email address (as well as one email to his wife's email address) as listed on his website but have failed to get any reply. If anyone knows how to contact Dr. Robert, kindly let me know his contact details off this group, or get him to contact me as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance, and once again I apologize for the bandwidth. 73, Sion Chow Q. C., 9W2QC.
