... I for one have lost My interest in it. I think even with peak
performance , it will take a class a ground station to hear any of the
formats We're expecting . Definitely not a school project . I hope it proves
Me wrong .
A handheld 2M HT and a simple antenna improvement for it are all

Thank you AMSAT for the wonderful tribute to Leanore.

I remember one winter sometime around 1998 there was a real bad ice storm
on the east coast. Canadian hams were using AO-27 to pass health and welfare
traffic. There was no electricity up there for months, propagation was bad,
there was no other way for some. I passed some traffic myself, sent
Definitely agree with you Clint! This morning's early pass sounded great!
Thanks to all that keep AO-51 running!

Jerry,
Your feelings on this are polar opposite of mine. I am literally on the
edge of my seat waiting for this satellite to be pushed out. There are soo
many interesting things about it, I can not comprehend how anyone could be
dis-interested in it. If you're an individual (or group at a

Thanks to all who have emailed and requested skeds with me from JN88 in
Slovakia. After a series of rig and antenna issues, I am now back on the sats,
with several QSOs today with good reports.
I will try to make a test AO-7 run tomorrow when I have a common footprint with
North America. If

Hi Jerry,
I don't know what a class a ground station consists of, but I'm sure the kids
will get a blast just listening to the recorded children's greetings

Thanks for the reply Peter,
I am not a school teacher . lol I have a mere setup for a satellite
station , FM only . I would not attempt to set up a portable station for a
classroom event and expect to recieve
any of the downlinks We look forward to from ARISSAT . I have only downloaded 2
I meant when the towers fall-antennas and everything.. Power was NOT the
problem on 9/11..
Good luck up North...

If the battery comes out of the ISS fully charged, you will hear it OK- The
solar cells will keep it in a charged up scenario.
Now, I hope the day they finally decide to kick this out is a day I will be
near my station

Good analysis John, but the AMSAT mgmt seems to have more of a 'sacred cow'
