I've got a better idea. Let's start a lunar exploration project. We've
had forty years of advances in materials science. We have all that
experience to build on.
Best way to prove the lunar naysayers wrong? Develop a spacecraft that
can travel to the moon. How hard can it be?

But we've yet to develop a satellite that can carry people.
We have problem getting an affordable launch for something the size and weight
of a corn flakes box, I doubt we can
launch something the size of a small car.

Dear Friends,
I thought this was already answered:
A gentleman is considering a CubeSat mission for weather research, and
needs answers to his inquiry after reading the AMSAT FAQ regarding
using ham frequencies ...
>> Related to Q2 & Q5 (compensation):
>> * As university staff, can I transmit to the CubeSat, or is my

>>
>> * Is the refurbishment of a club ground station (man hours,
>> equipment repair/purchase) considered compensation?

97.113 (5) (c) A control operator may accept compensation as an incident of
a teaching position during periods of time when an amateur station is used
by that teacher as part of classroom instruction at an educational
insitution.

All,
I wanted to publicly thank Doug for going on the road recently and
activating grids that we might not see again for some time and more
especially for the QSL cards which he sent subsequently. Mine arrived
today, a card for each contact with full 6 character grid square
locators and County information - great for those of us that chase
these additional bits of information.
Many thanks Doug!

Interesting how technology advances change our views, too. Who would have
said "how hard can it be" to go to the moon 40 years ago?!

I second David's comments! My cards arrived from Doug today, too. Thank you!
Doug, Gail (KB0RZD) and David (KB0RZE) and Patrick (WD9EWK) continue to go
above and beyond to activate grids wherever they may be. Some are more rare
than others, but I appreciate every one of them.
Thank you guys, for going to the expense and making the effort necessary to
operate away from home.
73 to all,
Tim - N3TL

Hey everyone,
Patrick just called to say that he will NOT be on the 23:18-ish UTC pass of
AO-51. He has no visibility to the east in the area he's in.
However, he WILL be on the next orbit of AO-51, which covers much of the
western U.S. That pass is about 00:58 UTC tonight.
He plans to post to the BB later this evening with his plans for Wednesday
operations.
73 to all,

What are considered "rare" grid squares for satellite ops?
Maybe more of us could activate them, if we only knew where they were.....

DXers produce list of desired countries. Six meter operators have compiled
such a list of grid squares, I suspect our list would be similar. If you
have not read about the Fred Fish (w5ff) award, it is interesting. I think
Randy, n7sfi is probably our Fred Fish as I don't know of anyone else who
has all of the grids touched by the lower 48 states.
I would like to see two lists; one for Grids and one for States. Satellite
operations should make for an easy WAS, but I know it took me way longer
than I thought it should have.
A few years ago to spark interest QRP-L had a one state per weekend deal for
QRP ops. Maybe we should do a one state a weekend for satellite ops?
Anyway... I would be willing to help with such a project. I think a good
starting point might be a web site where folks could report what they have
or have not worked. It might even be enough to get me to update my grid
list :-)
73,
Joe kk0sd

What are considered "rare" grid squares for satellite ops?
Maybe more of us could activate them, if we only knew where they were.....

Even we know there is a ham radio operator on almost every corner of the US,
not all of them operate on satellites, generally speaking about working
satellites, a rare grid or grids will be those with a very few or almost no
satellite ground station or hams that operate satellites, I can give a good
example on all the time you have been working satellites how many qso's you
can log for DM21 or DM20, just to mention this grids that I know that are
close to me, and I consider them rare, for the reason that the few ham radio
operators there are in some other frequencies but satellites, as well as this
grids, I'm sure they are more all over the US with low satellite traffic which
turn them into rare grids, but that does not means that they are impossible,
is just that there is no satellite operator on that particular location, and
with the help of an individual traveling, vacationing or passing by they can
be activated, if you Just notice the post from Patrick Stoddard on here AMSAT-
BB, he was traveling from AZ to UT to give the current satellite operator the
opportunity to log some grids that are not active all the time like others
that are very heavy in traffic like CM87 DM13 and all the grids that are on
populated areas, also this moth KD8CAO Douglas Papay was on a trip to Drummnd
Island and work satellites from EN86 which is considered a rare grid for what
I mentioned above, so the Idea is that if someone have the chance to take an
HT and Arrow antenna on its vacation or trip to work from a different grid
then its own QTH is worth the effort.
