Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] ISS for Field Day
Contacts WITH the ISS (normally voice) do not qualify for the satellite
bonus, just QSO credit. Contacts VIA the ISS (such as packet or crossband
repeat) do qualify for the satellite bonus since it is earth-sat-earth.
ISS is only expected to be active on 2 meters in Packet or on phone if the
crew is available.

Sooo,
Conversing real-time via packet to another human on the earth is not
earth-sat-earth?

Hi all,
Perhaps I missed it, but did any one come up with the definitive ICM part
number for the replacement crystal?
I saw Ron's (W6ZQ) message saying the "Catalog P/N is 746067" appear to be
the one.
Has this been confirmed?
Any way I would be interested in hearing more of other's experience in
obtaining replacement crystals.
How many people plan on replacing the crystal in their units?
Would it be enough to attempt a batch order?
Perhaps there >>might<< be a discount by consolidating the orders.

Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Simple OMNI receivers for LEO's.
I used a 2m quarter wave on the car with great results when I was on a
trip. I was able to use AO-51, AO-27 and even SO-50 with no pre-amp
with an HT as long as the elevation was 30 degrees or more.
