Over here in Indonesia we put the “HT only” note on the weekly IO-86 schedule as announced by LAPAN thru their fb/ig/twitter channel.

And reminders thru postings in various WhatsApp groups.

It seems that we're relying more and more on Internet-driven communications to schedule our satellite operations, rather than using our amateur radio resources.

Shouldn't we be getting bulletins through the satellite itself, perhaps on the telemetry channel? I recall this being done on a previous satellite.

Perhaps this is why we're losing spectrum allocations?

Food for thought.
