No it's not.
2m on your local repeater is half duplex, where you can talk or listen
but not both simultaneously.
Simplex is where you can talk OR listen but never do both.

I just posted about a virus issue with the file at
http://www.arissattlm.org/download/ARISSatTLM_050_Setup.exe. I just
downloaded the file on my Mac and the antivirus software does not
indicate a problem. Now I remember why i have both PCs and Macs.

It is just like a telephone conversation.? With little or no delay, however
back in the days of AO-40 (sobsob), when it was way out there, the delay was
very noticeable and listening to ones self you got a bit stuttering.

Mike,
It depends on the transceiver that you have.
Essentially the up link and down link are using different bands, U and V for
example.
If you transmit on a V uplink your transmission is transmitted back on the
downlink on a U frequency.
If your transceiver is capable of duplex operation, you can hear your own
transmission on the downlink
with a delay that depends on the sat distance from your location. with
today's leo sats, it is hardly noticeable. ?The duplex in the sat
communications means that you can transmit and receive simultaneously.
Hope that that clarify.
David, 4X1DG

I sent this some time ago but I never saw it show up so - sorry if it is a
re-post.
If you have not been on satellites for a really long time (> 20 years) you
may find this interesting. It explains why us old geezers say the old days
were amazing. If you were on decades ago it may bring back memories.
I have been getting back into hamming after a long hiatus and have been
listening to the satellites for a month or two while working on a controller
project and decided it was time to try and make a contact. Thanks to K4MOA
and W5MPC, today I made my first sat contacts in a very long time. A little
later I almost made a cw contact (used my trusty old J-38 key) on another
sat but lost him. I told you this was interesting and really exciting.
Thought I had better log the contacts and started looking for a logbook.
Found a old slightly yellowed logbook with Oscar-10 written on the cover. As
a group we hams (including me) are pretty cheap so I had saved this logbook
because there were empty pages still left in it. I entered my new contacts
on a fresh page (decided to splurge) and then looked back and found it was
my first sat contact since 1983. I know you are still waiting for the
exciting part.
Here is a typical page from the log. I am in Wisconsin and believe it or not
I had pile ups of europeans wanting to work Wisconsin of all things. It was
a real thrill. Times change and I now have two grid squares - not sure what
they are for but I have two and feel the need for more. There are 29 empty
pages left in the logbook so I am good to go. Hope to work you.

When I download the setup file at

complains that a WS.Reputation.1 virus is present and it deletes the
file. Do I have an incorrect link or is this merely the heuristic
detection in Norton falsely identifying a virus? The link to the file
is on the AMSAT web page so my assumption is that the file is OK.

Interesting. Norton Security Suite on WinXP and on another Windows 7
computer has no complaints. I just checked and it says Norton updated itself
8 minutes ago so the definitions are current.
What kind of virus were you warned about?

Hello Tom Doyle!
We worked Oscar 8, mode J on 23mar82 at 1520Z...I've got #219
entered in the remarks column, whatever that means, maybe Mode J
club??? With a check in the qsl column so I assume we exchanged cards..
So you can count San Diego county if that still works???
Counties to me mean hunting boundaries..
Lots of familiar calls....any other OT's still around??
I have done the same thing with my logbooks over the past 31 years,
with quite a few big gaps....FM seems to make sort of a buzzing in my
fillings???

Art.
You definitions are correct as stated in the "official" definitions on
the ITU website so we have to accept them as correct. However, they are
not in agreement with what I learned in telecommunications training back
in the 1970s in the UK so perhaps things have changed wrt time.
This discussion has cropped up before and no doubt will again.

I am on satellites since OSCAR-6 and I agree with you because only the old

I suggest you to work linear satellites like the old OSCAR-7 ,VO-52 and
FO-29 but forget for ever please the single channel FM satellites.

Please look if my call letter i8CVS is included in your logbook because at
that old amazing days I was active on OSCAR-10 every days except in august.

Unfortunately time are changed because actually we don't have any HEO
satellite in orbit like OSCAR-10, OSCAR-13 and AO40 but we have only three
linear LEO satellites like the old OSCAR-7, VO-52 and FO-29 and the rest
of single channel FM satellites are good for nothing.

I was looking on your logbook page and I am not included on it because
during the month of august I was normally in vacations from my job but
I found in it i3EIE Mario and i7LIT Rino both my good satellite friends at
that early days.
Please look before and after the month of august 1985 and I sure that you
will find me as well.
We only hope that AMSAT-DL will be able to launch a new HEO satellite
P3-E wich is similar to OSCAR-10 and OSCAR-13 but unfortunately we
don't have actually a launch contract and AMSAT.DL need donations from
the Ham satellite community all over the world.
If you can please subscribe to AMSAT-DL and ................Pull for P3-E !

Time for a quick description, for those who may be less familiar with how
packet BBSes work.
Many of us are running packet radio BBSes or even just mailboxes, on modern
computing hardware. Now this hardware with 16- and 32-bit processors
running at clock speeds of over 100MHz, up to a megabyte or even more of RAM
and maybe as much as a couple of gigabytes (that's 1024 megabytes) of mass
storage is often capable of handling many simultaneous connections. Users
can send messages to each other directly or via mailboxes, while other users
are simultaneously reading messages or browsing saved bulletins - perhaps as
many as eight users at once!
By comparison, the 8-bit 4MHz microprocessors used in most normal TNCs can
really only cope with a single connection at a time. Once someone is in
connected mode, everything else gets rejected. Some of the more modern TNCs
can accept very large amounts of RAM (the KPC-3 can have 32 kilobytes), but
most have much less than that. The TNCs built into radios tend to be fairly
simpleminded beasts, with crude firmware and very little RAM for storing
messages and connections.
The UI packets, on the other hand, are merely received and, if they are
valid, repeated (almost verbatim) a moment later. There is a slight
modification to the header to indicate that they've been through a
digipeater, but the message content remains unmodified. Since the TNC has
no need to track any state for these packets - UI is not a connected mode -
then it can handle digipeating packets for any stations it can hear.

Thanks, that's the nicest thing anyone's said all day.

JoAnne,
I checked, and sure enough, Norton promptly removed the download, reporting
a WS.REPUTATION.1 virus possibility, and that it was being submitted. I
overrode it, and did a binary comparison with the one I downloaded a couple
of months ago. Same file. When I scan the executable, it gives me a
general message about there being several indications that it is
untrustworthy, but that it has actually done nothing. I am guessing it is a
false alarm, mostly because there are so few Norton users who have the
program. Stay tuned.

Interesting. Norton Security Suite on WinXP and on another Windows 7
computer has no complaints. I just checked and it says Norton updated itself
8 minutes ago so the definitions are current.
What kind of virus were you warned about?
