Ah you are inventing problems. The "real NC" would quickly assert
their position. There are lots of nets held on ham radio...how often
do others claim to be net control...virtually never. If you are
saying someone will cause malicious interference, there is no cure
other than peer pressure and official FCC action.
The way to introduce Net Controlled passes is to do it in advance of
FD. In fact the idea might catch on when folks find it manages the
typical "FM chaos" that reigns currently.
I propose there be a Net Day every month on certain FM satellites
starting with AO-51, if it is healthy enough. Good practise for a
real "emergency comm" situation. There are ARES Nets held regularly
all over the nation on VHF/UHF... why not on satellite?

Here is a suggestion. Several of us have mentioned we do not hear many
people on the satellites in modes like SSB. If even half of the people
complaining about multiple FM contacts tried to work FO-29, we would have
activity wall to wall for every pass. :)

it and not claim a QSO point if needed in order to see it changed for the

target station can respond to those calling. This operation clearly netted
the most QSO's being made at a specific time in history. It also clears
traffic on the satellite faster when stations get their 100 bonus points for
the ARRL event or 1 point for the AMSAT event. At this point the other
station is dancing in the field bragging about their contact plus they would

I can see it now , USA Today headlines " Ham operator successfully passes
ARRL RadioGram over Orbiting Satellite" .
As much trouble and time it takes to pass a message over much more
controlled frequiencies , I could not imagine trying to pass a formatted
message over a satellite , therefore rendering a sat as useless for handling
emergency traffic.
And I still say a net control type format would allow for many more
contacts on field day than just QRZ.

Ed. There is a big difference between an HF net where everyone can more or
less be heard (at least as interference) and a satellite where the strongest
signal captures it. There is no FCC ruling that would support a "net call"
operation and any one with a valid license could get on and bang away to
their hearts content and all the "net control" station could do is hurl
harsh words and lots of OO notices. I was a part of the ATS system for a
bit. Nets work when being part of the net is the price of being on the bird.

Jerry,
Exactly why I stated that, in my opinion, digital comms is the
practical mode for satellite emcomm. Voice Net would be for brief
"real-time messages" e.g. "we need a node set up in location
blank"; "the hospital needs a generator", "send a helicopter we
have x number injured", "my car is stuck and the water is rising",
"the fire cut off our escape route, help!" ... No 30+ word formal
messages on voice. Digital packet or APRS can be much more efficient
and accurate.
Typically, voice is local VHF/UHF simplex (when all else
fails). Satellite for longer range coordination links which
currently are managed on HF.

A net could work on a satellite but a net needs to be established and
practiced so when the real emergency happens, the net itself is
routine and focus can be on the emergency. I'm not surprised we don't
have this because of the scarcity of the satellites themselves. While
FM gives the most operator base, I would think that this is something
that would be left for the multi QSO birds like 29 and 52. That's my
take on this.

Actually the net control station would only have to confirm each station
calling.Station info passed when calling and net control confirms station
info . Much more organized than 50 operators calling 50 other operators.
Checking into a net is very organized . I can't see where it would be a
waste of time. Guess I'm dense.

AMEN! We did this back with the VOICE Transponder on PCSAT-1. Not being an
"AMSAT" we did not have to ask anyone. We just declared that the
transponder would be on on such and such a day, and that operation would be
via Net Control. TO my rememberance, it worked perfectly.
Net control simply called for checkins by category (EVER MINDFULL of exactly
where the satellite footprint was optimum. Remember, those directy below
the satellite have a 10 dB advantage over those on the edge...
We did this as a demonstration of how well NET CONTROL type operation would
work on an FM satellite. At the time, of course, the Neanderthals opposed
even the concept on an AMSAT. So we did nothing much elase... What we did
not think of, is Ed's idea of a ONCE A MONTH exercise as a way of testing it
and getting people used to it.
I'm all for it!

Somewhere in the last century (1998 or 1999, I think), I wrote an intro
article about antennas for home stations. The specifics may be a little
dated, but I believe the concepts are still valid--maybe more so today with
only LEOs to work. If you are interested, here is the,admitedly aged,
article:
http://web.archive.org/web/20001005114432/http://members.aol.com/k5oejerry/ana
lysis.htm
If you want the short version (don't we all?), here's the summary:
1. Big antennas for LEO satellites are a personal choice, but not the only
one that works.
2. Elevation control is nice to have, but not mandatory either. The need
for elevation control is related to the gain of the antennae and the size of
your budget.
3. Ditto for automatic control of the antenna array.
4. Popular options, that will all work, are listed in decending order of
complexity and cost (you choose):
A. Oscar Class Station: big CP beams, G-5400, auto-tracking, etc.
B. VHFer station: using less expensive beams already on the tower and
just adding elevation control (PA3GUO posting)
C. HOA Restrictions Special: small 3 or 4 ele beams, good preamps at
the antennas, and an amplifier in the attic. Elevation control not required.
For the price of a new G-5400 you could turn that dual-band HT into a
mini-OCS: $150 for a pair of small V/U beams, $150 for a UHF preamp, $75
for a TV rotor, and $100 for an 80 W VHF amp. But then you would be tempted
to run FD as 1D and all your pals would lose respect for you :-)

For field day qso , You don't need grid . You exchange station ID. WB5LHD
1d la .
Control operator , which You should already have His info , says : confirm
WB5LHD 1d la.
How many contacts could You make in one pass? And then a different operator
for next pass on West Coast. Or if We're lucky , Maybe 3 passes . I am
curious to know how many " confirmed " contacts were made on one pass ?

All,
I just checked the Nova Satellite page and it appears a new release just
came out on 6/23/2011 that fixes the Space-Track.org issue.
I have not tried it yet. I will check when I get home tonight.
Just wanted to pass this along as most of us where busy with Field Day!

I have had lots of questions privately how I got Nova to work again.? So,
for all, here is what I did...
I went to Kep. Elements menu and on the Space-Track.org I unchecked all the
boxes so that nothing is currently updating from Space-Track (until they fix
Nova for SSL).
I then clicked on HTTP and changed the remove URL to www.amsat.org
Then I removed everything in Remote Files and added the following AMSAT path:
amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasa.all
Then I said OK and clicked back on Kep. Elements, Internet Update, Start
Download and it grabbed the nasa.all keps from AMSAT and loaded them
perfectly.
Hope this helps!

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.
I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.
Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!
What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!
Watch your back~!
