AMSAT News Service Bulletin 227.04 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. August 15, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-227.04
Echo 51 is still in its initial stages. Various modes
are being tested and power budgets are still being compiled.
While the AMSAT community is trying to become operational
on this satellite, it is apparent that the low power operators
are finding it dificult to get their signals into the bird.
Of course we all realize we want to use the bird while it is in view,
many cannot get their first contact yet. Become the "politically
correct" amateur operator by using the "minimum" amount of power needed
to make the contact.
If you've followed some discussions on the AMSAT BB, many operators are
using their super power bricks to insure their signal is being heard and
making many contacts during the pass. Become more considerate of the
low power users trying to get into the bird.
Don't forget to assist it's unpaid balance left in the launch fund campaign.
