Clarifications:
We will only be on one, MAYBE two of the JOTA frequencies at a time.
There are going to be around 200 scouts, not 400-500.

Hi All,
I have been asked to do a few satellite demos for some Boy Scouts tomorrow afternoon on Horn?s Hill, Newark Ohio. The location sits about 400-500? above the rest of the terrain which is great for low passes, but there are several trees to contend with. It would be great if a few people could call so the scouts could hear a typical exchange, and it would be really great if whoever calls could give their state as well.
Here are the passes I plan to be on:
AO27 30/1817z 50*
AO51 30/1942z 15*
Maybe... AO27 30/1957z 19*
I will be operating with my usual call, or I might be operating using W8CBF. Grid will still be EN80.
We will also be on HF:
JOTA Scout Frequencies
Band
80-meter 3.940 MHz
40-meter 7.190 MHz
20-meter 14.290 MHz
10-meter 28.390 MHz
Sorry I can't provide more details about the event. I believe there were a few organizational issues. The passes and HF ops will be dependent on who all shows up, band conditions and weather. There are supposedly 400-500 scouts that will be coming through.
If you would like a card, send me the QSO details and I will send you one - no return necessary.
73!

... gud luck FM birds are very over crowded. SSB birds would be alot better I hope you told them what to expect ...
I live in the most populous region of the U.S.' most populous state, and have never had a problem demo'ing in front of audiences.
Of course it is busy on the "prime time" passes. That's why they exist - for us to use them.

Hi Greg, Sorry to say this, but your analogy to "just another component" is plain wrong. The vocoder cannot be replaced by another generic component as far as I can ascertain. I cant' even find the algorithms that would allow me to program a DSPIC or fpga at home in my meager lab to perform any of the functions in the codec.
I am not suggesting that you create your own version of that codec Don. I am suggesting that you can put this codec into a design to make it work with D-Star now. Later, if another codec becomes popular, if you've done the design right, you could plug in another codec that would change the form of the coded data and recognize that form for decoding and presto, you swap in the new codec and you don't have to worry about being dependent on D-Star. In a sense, this is exactly the thing that the FM-USB-LSB-Digital knob does on your existing multi-mode rig.
You just have to think about D-Star as a mode, and not as a "rig" or a "standard" and move on to experimenting with what you can master instead of only what you can "make".

I'm often on the early morning passes of SO-50 and there are many times that I call CQ for the entire pass and don't hear any other stations. Not ALL of them are crowded ALL of the time. We shouldn't try to discourage newcomers...someday they might join AMSAT and donate money for P3E!

AO27 was nice this afternoon also. A couple of Mexician stations on (one in EL10) and a few US stations, but no overcrowding.

The information is false, the operation was canceled and can not activate XF2P, now the team is working from Riachuelo,Veracruz, operating several HF and satellite with their personal calls. XF2P will not air, if something is in cluster is a pirate.

Hi All,
Thank you to all the stations that took part in the Royal Wedding special events station yesterday and we are pleased with the number of stations calling us!
However we believe we missed some of you as the recording is hard to pick out your callsigns!
Please contact me if you worked us as we would be happy to add you to our list! Below is a summary link to our website:
