AO-85 Rudeness (elbow room) Finding HF PSK31 ops?
Is there a good HF reflector for PSK31 people?
Maybe its just that satellite folks do not do HF PSK31 and HF PSK31 operators don't know about sateliltes?

Bob,
It is a shame it's not more popular. I have listened to the downlink and it's a good signal. My apartment QTH makes it very difficult to set up to use it, but most hams with a full home satellite station should be able to use it very easily.
Maybe an award for working several different stations on it would help increase the popularity?

Take a break from the congestion.... come to the wide open multi-user wideband transponder on PSAT-1. Downlink is good on a handheld arrow on 435.350 MHz FM. It should be able to support dozens of simultaneous full duplex QSO's in the PSK31 waterfall.
Just pick an empty spot and key your TX solid for the full 8 minutes of the pass on your 10 meter PSK31 uplink 28.121 MHz..
To run fullduplex, just run two copies of your favorite PSK31 software. One receiving the FM downlink and the other transmitting on the SSB uplink. Even better is to run Andy K0SM's TX-only uplink client that pre-adjusts for Doppler so everyone can decode you with no adjustments.

Bob, probably the most knowledgeable PSK31 operators on the planet meet here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/070/
You may have a good idea as this bunch is always looking for a new event/challenge. (the Club has endorsement stickers that we get for competing in special events. With no big investment in new gear, working PSAT would likely be a doable deal. Suggest you join the reflector and make a post. Since this is all new to them, start at the basics.
(if you have problems joining the Yahoo Group, I'll see if I can get you on with a 'special guest appearance'..pls let me know) (or contact Matt King direct. I have cc'd him here)

(Matt, pls contact me if any questions. Bob has a novel idea for an 070 event)
