The following quote from John W9EN hit home with me.
"FO-29 performs well. Its a shame I often find myself the only one on
during the pass "
I am an AMSAT old timer (Amsat LM-0875) who had been inactive in ham radio
for a decade or two. Recently
I got back on the air. The easiest way to get back on the air was 2M/70cm
repeaters. The activity level
on the repeaters here in Madison is at an very low level. In the old days
you could always find someone
on the repeaters. I was a bit surprised to say the least.
Back in the day I worked WAS on Oscar using scratch built transverters. I
thought I might give the current
satellites a try. I thought my gear was not working but I guess it is the
low level of activity on the sats. The same
situation occurred about 65 million years ago when the few remaining
dinosaurs stood around and asked
themselves - where is everybody. Today "everybody" is playing Angry Birds on
their iWhatever or tweeting
the fact that they are up and going to have breakfast soon.
One thing that would help the satellite hobby is a more modern use of the
internet for discussions. I searched
for an Amsat yahoo group and could not find anything. Some sort of threaded
discussion system with actual search
capability like the yahoo groups would be much more useful than the current
'old school' listserv. Unfortunately
the few people who read this will think I am nuts and that the current
system works great - "for them". That is
always the situation when something is in decline - the few remaining folks
like things just fine the way they are.
73 tom W9KE
P.S. the spell checker on my email system picked the word "transverters" as
misspelled. It suggested "transvestites"
as a possible correct spelling. I guess I am truly a dinosaur.

Too true. I have fun with the late night passes. They allow me to play
without qrm'ing the folks during the day.
if you feel adventurous, I'll be up on the late (2.30am east coast time)
fo-29 pass. Might stick around for the 4.20 pass too Hey, maybe AO-51 is
up??..

Hi Thomas,
Great story. One thing I would like to add, you suggest Yahoo style,
what about a forum on for example the amsat website?

Spot on. This is the only listserv left on my list when there used to be
about over 50.
FO-29 usage from here in the UK has been pretty good to me, but I don't
follow as many passes as I'd like.

I suspect you will not be very lonely this weekend. I will be camping on
FO-29 CW every pass I can get at Field Day from EL87 in St. Petersburg. I'm
hoping we get our bonus points and many more contacts on the linear birds. I
might listen to AO-51 and AO-27 for kicks to listen to the zoo. :) We will
be using W4TA.

That's actually a very good discussion. I too got back into ham radio after
about 20 years of absence and of course bought a
sat ready rig (FT-736R), built an antenna and off I went. I had my first QSO
on AO-07 and was stoked because apparently the
antenna I built out of PVC pipe and copper tubing (IOio) worked and I made a
successful contact. After that I put up a basic rotor
with two beams and was hoping to have more fun.
Well .. I'm not sure if that stressful exchanging of grids on the FM sats
can be classified as fun and I also found myself pretty lonely
on the SSB sats which made me question if I really want to go the next step
to get a AZ/EL rotor, pre-amps etc. and spend all that
money just to have maybe a handful QSOs a month. So I'll be monitoring here
for a bit more to see what the situation is like. In the
meantime I sold the FT-736R to fund a newer HF radio and postponed more
extensive station building.
So what is the state of affairs really with SSB sats in the US? It seems
that they're more active in Europe.

One thing I forgot regarding Internet discussions. What's holding you back
from creating a Yahoo or Google group
and promote it so that people can actually join and start the conversation?
