W9AE replies:
I've seen AMSAT net announcement messages for years, and NEVER
understood them. The messages never specify a terrestrial frequency or
an amateur satellite. This leads me to the conclusion that the AMSAT
net doesn't use ham radio as the communications medium.
What communications medium is used to conduct the AMSAT net?
Is it on a 2-way channel on a commercial satellite?
Is it on the Internet?
What is REF 60B?
If the AMSAT net doesn't use ham radio, why not?
Please explain...

Soon someone will respond stating that CW should be the only communications
medium for nets and that they wouldn't participate unless the net was on a
HEO satellite. Even better, the individual won't pay their dues for AMSAT
unless they are the designated net control station.

I found it rather by accident today. I have played with all the neat
features of iOS 7 but stumbled upon this one in an unusual place.
Tap on your favorites in the phone book. Tap on the (I) for information
about your favorite and tap Edit, tap on Vibration. Scroll down to the
bottom and under 'Custom', tap 'Create New Vibration'. It now allows you
to tap the screen for dits and dahs and have your custom morse code
vibrate when in silent mode.
I could not find any way to make a custom vibration in Settings/Sounds.
Go figure.
Pretty neat and ham friendly. Works great on my iPhone 5, waiting on my
iPhone 5S to be delivered next week.

It's still on weekly, on 20 meters. 14.282, 18:00z-19:00z for random
checkins, bulletins at 19:00z.
Net controls are Keith, W5IU and Larry, W7LB.
