Dear All,
I just want to share that I copied many NB transmissions on Es’Hail 2 today clean and strong (a few callsigns well noted), however I believed that the HAM’s transmitting through the bird now are not very disciplined and not having at heart the interest of the community at large and acting irresponsibly. AMSAT-DL through many communication channels have requested that we should not do so before the official launch date, good reason for this is that it enable testing but also enable the sponsors to announce this officially and take credit to have offered this facility to the HAM community.
If we act lightly we may not find many sponsors in the future. I therefore appeal to the community to abide with the set plan of AMSAT-DL not to jeopardize the future and further opportunities. Therefore guys keep away from Es’Hail 2 Tx for a few days so that you may enjoy same for the 15 next years, more show that as a community we are disciplined and organized.
Hope this message will be heard for the benefit of all.
