Subject: [eagle] Service class names

Team:
I learned at Symposium that some don't like some of the class names we've been using to discuss various services.

I reaffirmed at Symposium that we need consistent names for the services we'll provide, just like we've settled on band names.

To give us the precise nomenclature I think we need for effective communication, I propose:

    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.

Unless one of you strongly objects in the next few hours, I'll have the ANS announcement and AMSAT web page updated.

It was great to see many of you this weekend.

Thanks & 73,
Jim
