[amsat-bb] Re: HO-68 Schedule - 14-21 Mar 2010

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

Alan and All,

     	I am confused (very common for me :-) )  I will be heading out this
week for some fairly rare grids and am curious as to how I should operate.

	I am clear that linear transponder means SSB/CW operation.

	Does digital transponder mean operate packet/computer or FM voice?

	Looking at the schedule below does that mean the digital is on all
the time and the linear will turn on / off at the listed times? or something
different?

For example:

15 Mar. 2010, Digital Transponder (on? Or off? -- Voice? or Packet?)
================================
01:25...Turn On--Linear Transponder (very clear Linear On, but digital off?)
South America,NA,North Asia
02:10...Turn Off  ( Linear off, but digital on? Or off? )

02:21...Turn On	(Linear? Digital both? - voice? Packet?)
North Asia,East Asia,South Asia
02:36...Turn Off

Thanks for the help! and the Great new bird! 73,
Joe kk0sd

Hello all,

I got a lot of responses about problem of digital mode 
through HO-68. The main problem is that Packet communication 
is often interrupted by voice. We are trying a new schedule 
in this week, voice and packet operations will be separated 
by the schedule, of course, this just depends on the hams'own 
discipline. If you have any comment and suggestion, please 
let me know.
