[amsat-bb] AO-85 Rudeness (elbow room) Finding HF PSK31 ops?

[Ted]

Bob, probably the most knowledgeable PSK31 operators on the planet meet
here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/070/

You may have a good idea as this bunch is always looking for a new
event/challenge. (the Club has endorsement stickers that we get for
competing in special events. With no big investment in new gear, working
PSAT would likely be a doable deal. Suggest you join the reflector and make
a post. Since this is all new to them, start at the basics.

(if you have problems joining the Yahoo Group, I'll see if I can get you on
with a 'special guest appearance'..pls let me know) (or contact Matt King
direct. I have cc'd him here)

73, Ted

(Matt, pls contact me if any questions. Bob has a novel idea for an 070
event)

Is there a good HF reflector for PSK31 people?

Maybe its just that satellite folks do not do HF PSK31 and HF PSK31
operators don't know about sateliltes?

Bob,

It is a shame it's not more popular. I have listened to the downlink and
it's a good signal. My apartment QTH makes it very difficult to set up to
use it, but most hams with a full home satellite station should be able to
use it very easily.

Maybe an award for working several different stations on it would help
increase the popularity?

73,

Paul, N8HM
