HF AMSAT CHAT

Return Mail to wa1rks(a)yahoo.com Yep ! I remember "Rip" he also was net control on 75/80m net tues nights also. We used to go there ( late 70's early 80's) to get the keps for all the birds back then. AO7,AO8,RS 1-11, etc, then a buddy of mine (now SK) Dick WB1H'IH (his son has his call) Dick and I devised a formula for calculating the orbits from the keps on a calculator converting 60minute type values to dec. so calculator would post times correctly, We'd sit down with calculator and large yellow note pad, and spend few hours, calculating weeks worth of Birds and their times and passes. Used Mylar over lays back then to "see" birds. This is akin to "walking to school every day, uphill both ways in a snowstorm" with no shoes. HI. 73 gud dx to all . CUOTBRDS. de Ellis WA1RKS

> Anyone want to join in on 7.190 for a satellite group rag chew 24:00 utc > WA4hfn Damon Seems that there used to be a weekly AMSAT net on 20m, or am I just showing my age... I haven't kept up unfortunately. 40m is probably good for evening/nite-time chat... Sounds like fun. /;^) -- # Alan Sieg, WB5RMG since 1976 # http://wb5rmg.wordpress.com # http://www.linkedin.com/in/alansieg # wb5rmg(at)amsat(dot)org AMSAT#20554

HF satellite group

Well first attempt at a 40 meter gathering wasnt a complete failer. Talked to WC7V in MT from Memphis and K7TRK was weak but there. Im open for comments and suggestions on starting an HF Amsat group. I think it would be good for all to be able to discuss things of intrest. Would we need a net control , open of round table and best utc times and frequency.Who knows we may be able to get FM operators to be a little more polite. WA4HFN Damon
