Special ANDE Operations Tues/Thurs 28/30 August: Eastern USA Morning passes:
On Tuesday, Naval Academy stuents will operate ANDE to gather statistics on the success rate of the APRS mission. We invite participation, attended or unattended IAW these guidelines: 1) Tracking Base stations set 5 minute rate 2) 50W mobiles set 3 minute rate 3) 5W HT's set 1 minute rate
Do not TX more often, as it will mess up the statistics. Would be nice if you put your station info in your posit text so we could confirm the validity of the statistics of your transmit rate, something like: "Base=5min +10 dB" "50W =3min w 5/8ths" "HT=1min w 19" ant"
On Thursday, we may activate the packet to voice synthesizer. If so, then we will tell you what to do then.

Reminder of ANDE Operations Event Tues and Thurs:
