I'm guessing that this means they have a narrower passband within which
they will accept the tone as being "right". If you look at the tone
spacing for CTCSS, some of them are only 3Hz apart.

It's time for another College Satellite night! We hope to see you on the
birds Thursday evening May 6th from 22:00 UTC to 0500 UTC (May 7). College
Satellite nights are a monthly event held the first Thursday of the month.
Mark your calendar and spread the word to college hams/club stations that
you know!
College club stations plan on being on birds AO51, SO50, AO7, VO52, HO-68
and more. Please give these stations a call and work them.they will
identify their college club identity along with their call sign.

My operation from S?ndre Str?m (aka Sondrestrom, aka Kangerlussuaq)
GP47pa will start sometime around Wednesday, May 5th. I will be
traveling to S?ndre Str?m tomorrow and will hopefully not fly the next
day. I plan on being there a little less than two weeks. After that I
will be returning to Thule FQ56.
Be sure to sign up for my email list at
<http://groups.google.com/group/ox-thule-2010> if you have not already
done so. I will send out notices from here with planned times of operation.
Also, a big thank you to everyone that I've worked. I'm just as excited
to give out these grids as you are to receive them!
Remember: I will need to have cards printed up when I get home so there
may be some delay in my reply. I will QSL all cards sent with SASE, IRC
or Greenstamp 100% don't worry!
Thanks again everyone! Get the word out to everyone you know and invite
those not on the birds, or in ham radio, into your station to make a few
QSOs and show them how easy it is!
73,
Reid N0RC

If the desire is to promote Amateur Radio Satellites on Field Day for the
greater majority there will be more stations with V/U and/or V/S capability
than L/S or L/U capability based on historical observation. You can promote
variety or you can promote AMSAT to the greater Amateur Radio community.
Field Day should be a day utilized to promote Amateur Radio Satellites, not
a separate or elite group that the majority will fail to achieve without
more unique equipment required. If we fail to reach the greater Amateur
Radio community we may fail to reach out to a greater number of new
recruits.

I vote for V/S:? there are a lot more station capable of mode S than L...?
(and hopefully, HO-68 will be in linear mode - I suggested that to Alan Kung
several months ago)

Tim,
Your point is valid. There is another way to look at this, though.
In general I find that on Field Day the mode FM birds are NOT a good
way to show 2-way satellite communications to a group or club. I have
tried to make a contact (portable, handheld operations) for the last
few years, and it's been a bust. I have generally gone to just
receiving the birds, rather than creating an expectation for a contact
that I can't deliver.
And AO-51 isn't the only operational bird...so putting the bird into
mode L/S or L/U might actually allow more stations to make contacts on
Field Day.
Food for thought :)
