Now?that most of the FD bruhaha is over with, and the lack of a heo being
obvious.? Exactly where are we or our DL friends in this regard.? The bottom
line is no doubt money/launch.? How much money? When/where etc.? The details
appear to be in vacuum.? Some of my friends ask me, "why do you keep your
AO-40 (sobsob) gear/antennas etc still up and ready".? I respond, "I
believe".? I also believe it if we build it they will come.? However the old
hangers-on are few in number.

For those portable AMSAT folks that did not get their full outdoors
satrisfaction via the birds, do not forget the PACKET APRS "Field Day" on
Sunday 24 July from Mountain Tops along the Appalachain trail from Alabama
to Maine and along the Pacific Crest Trail from San Diego to Seattle!
This is a 4 hour event with the goal of terrestrially digipeating APRS
packet messages over thousnands of miles via a number of IDEALLY located
portable digipeater stations (Think D700's)
Carried to the tops of these strategic mountains. We can do the East Coast
in 14 hops and think the west coast can be done in much less with their
higher mountains. Also there is an opportunity for a Continental Divide
Trail attempt if anyone wants to get that started...
This will be our 3rd attempt along the Appalachians and 1st attempt along
the Pacific Crest Trail.
Please see the web page:
www.aprs.org/at-golden-packet.html
There are links to a web page for EVERY peak to help organize the assault
parties. Lots of un-filled slots, especially out west.

Jerry,
I'm also a follower of the AMSAT-NA page on Facebook. I think it's great!
That being said, I do not know if the Amsat BOD has officially endorsed or
blessed the page as official. If you go to Amsat.org, you will not see a
"Connect with us on Facebook" link or anything of the sort. So, that's a
question.
Either way (official or not), I think the Admin (or admins) have done an
excellent job.

My sincere thanks to the gentlemen who replied to me directly! :)
It's a fantastic bunch of guys/gals! :)
I didn't mention that I already have MacDoppler Lite and, if MacDopper for
Cocoa will handle doppler, for a linear bird, using a single FT-817ND,
I'll give it a shot. I belong to the MacDoppler Yahoo Group but no one
seems to give a clear answer exactly "what" MacDoppler will/will not do to
a '817 to handle doppler. I'll post another question to that group.

Sounds Democratic... Throw a lot of money in the air and then control it
beyond any reasonable use. 8-). It has been more fun reading about the out
of this world FD events than it would have been trying to work anyone with
an :"OSCAR CLASS" station running 2 watts out put. Long live AO-07!
Thanks AMSAT for the OSCARS, all of them.

How about we have some discussion that doesn't eventually get forced round
to emergency communications? Emcomms is the cancer that is killing amateur
radio.

Talking of Facebook, Google have just joined launched their own social
network offering - Google+. It's geared towards connecting groups and
project followers, rather than individual friends.
Check out Amsat - it's looking pretty good: http://www.wdyl.com/#amsat

On the contrary.
Emcomm is the only thing keeping the government on our side and
protecting the facilities we have.

It's also generated a huge crowd of "amateurs" who have no real interest in
the hobby beyond buying the latest shiny new box in the toyshop and playing
at police dispatchers. These wallies then stomp their moronic chatter all
over anyone else who happens to be using a frequency.
The emergency services have their own frequencies and their own kit, paid
for out of our taxes. They've got enough comms of their own, or at least
they *should* have.

Hi Alexander, KC2ZSX
Have you never make a calculation or an estimation on how it costs a 10
minutes of an astronaut activity all costs including on board of the ISS ?
Why NASA should vaste money for how silly she is a FD weekend radio
activity playing with us from the ISS ?
The astronauts are already tired with the same questions infinitely repeated
with the ISS contacts with the schools and NASA is a very serious space
organization.
