I would second Clint on this. Rand KD0HKD, Eddy KY0F, and myself K0PDX have
on multiple occasions worked the FM birds in front of clubs that we where
presenting to. As long as a pass is going overhead we try and work them.
AO-51 being the major one.

Wasn't going to comment, but oh heck!
I think Alex has it pegged. I see a lot of Astronauts getting their
ham license but figure that is probably NASA "encouraged" mainly for
PR purposes and secondarily for emergency comms if the main systems
fail. It is likely many Astronauts are not particularly interested
in ham radio, per se. I'll admit making your first contact with
either the shuttle or ISS is a thrill and fun, but the opportunities
may be not that frequent, nor should any ham expect it to be so.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now on a related subject, I would really favor Amsat approaching NASA
for the installation of a linear transponder (say Mode UV) unit to be
attached to the exterior of ISS (with remote shut-off for ISS
critical operations). This may be a better option to finding/paying
for launch opportunities for free orbiting linear-transponder
satellites. Since there is a regular launch schedule to resupply ISS
and no propellant/engine would be involved it would be a benign cargo item.
I do not underestimate the difficulty quotient for such a mission,
but we do have ham gear installed on ISS, and have done Suitsat and
ARISSat with NASA and ISS.
If no launch is forthcoming for P3E perhaps the backup unit (sans
propellant system and solar panels) could be considered? It would be
in a Leo orbit but at least it would provide a long-term alternative
to FM Leos.
Something to chew on and consider?

If you have to apply for vanity to get ham letters on your plate, then
they're not really ham call letter plates, are they, as they are in
Montana and Washington. I stand on all of my prior posts on this matter.

Hi,
I think that the call sign has been mistaken - It should have been
9A3ST an amateur station that I have
worked or heard on a number of times on the satellites.
Trust that this will help with the enquiry.

at JFK International Airport as he attempted to board a ?flight while in
possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, ?a slide-rule and a

said he believes the ?man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement.

He ?did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with ?carrying
weapons of math instruction.? 'Al-Gebra is a ?problem for us', the Attorney
General said. 'They derive ?solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes
go off on ?tangents in search of absolute values.' ?They use secret code

Because of the very-large roll ham radio played in the aftermath of
the 1964 Alaska Earthquake (9.2), the legislature passed a resolution
that any ham with ham gear installed in their vehicle would not only
get "ham call" plates but would be exempt from registration
costs. WE still pay any local personal property tax that is included
in Alaskan auto tags.
You only get one vehicle licensed with call-sign plates.

All this makes me really, really glad I live in a country where we don't

Britain has more CCTV cameras per head of population than anywhere else
in the world.
Britains airports and military establishments are crawling with armed
police and military security staff. As long as the copper on the street
here keeps his weapon in it's holster then it's no threat.
I can't think of anywhere in my city that had security staff or metal
detectors.
Britain already isn't far behidg the US.

live like that.

Ted.
As, for decades, the US government has seen fit to force itself upon any
country with which it doesn't agree, anyone, anywhere has a right to an
opinion, even if it doesn't suit you.
I don't agree with Gordon most of the time but he has a right.

No problem. I have a slide-rule from my college years (1962-1968),
and am card-carrying member of Al-Gebra (BS Math 1968)! Good for a
laugh, forwarded to my wife ;-)

If you have to apply for vanity to get ham letters on your plate, then
they're not really ham call letter plates, are they, as they are in
Montana and Washington. I stand on all of my prior posts on this matter.
