AMSAT News Service Bulletin 356.03 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. DECEMBER 22, 2002
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-356.03
PCSat is still fully functional and so the "Priority" store-and-forward test
to let HT or Mobile users anywhere in the remotest areas of the planet to
report their position and status has been continued.
To use this function, a wilderness traveler simply sets his TH-D7 or TMD-700
APRS radio to select a "PRIORITY" or "SPECIAL" or "CUSTOM" flag in their
position/status packet. Then set their beacon to once every 3 minutes on
the special travelers un-published PCsat uplink frequency.
Any special, priority, emergency, or custom position/status report will be
stored and repeated once every 3 minutes on the 144.39 downlink. When
PCsat flies over the USA with dozens of IGates listening on 144.39, then
the network will capture it to the http://pcsat.aprs.org web page for all
to see.
If you live OUTSIDE of Europe or USA in a remote area of the world and
just happen to have an APRS HT (D7 or D700 mobile) and can participate in
this test, please let us know.
[ANS thanks Bob, WB4APR, for the above information]
