Hello Jim!
Class A for what we used to call Class 0 (A from the old "Analog", which we need to stamp out.) Class S for what we used to call Class 1 (S from SMS) Class V for what we used to call Class 2 (small station digital Voice) Class H for what we used to call Class 3 (High rate)
I started with A, B, . . . and decided to propose more intuitive names.
For English, of course.
Unless one of you strongly objects in the next few hours, I'll have the ANS announcement and AMSAT web page updated.
V and S are also used for band designators, so it might get confusing for an S class user on U/V, or a V class user on S2/C...
Could us M for text Messaging...
A, B, C, D might be easier after all!
