In addition to Bob's URGENT request for help on RAFT, please note that if you feel uncomfortable commanding a satellite for the first time in your life, there is a team ready to guide you.
I believe that anyone that can digipeat via PCSAT or RAFT or ANDE is an excellent candidate !
Personally I offer to be 'live' with you on the phone during any attempt, at almost any time of the day to help out.
Please if you can, but still are to scared to do this, give me a call and we can sort it out - you can make the difference !
