The H had been
designated for AO-40 for the H service on that satellite. H service was "high
frequency" (15m and 10m) operation. Lyle notes also that V and S have prior
references, as would B.
It is a difficult
mine field.

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
