<Also, there is a lot of bandwidth on the APRS satellites
(Falconsat-3,ARISS, NO-84) and the PSK birds (NO-84, NO-104) waiting for
moreusers. Remember, with APRS you can do more than just send yourposition,
you can send messages back and forth and have a decentconversation. So for
those tired of the QRM on FM, consider givingthem a try.> I have mastered
packet exchange through the ISS and would love to do packets on the APRS
satellites. However, I have not found an article, etc,. that tells how to do
it. I understand that it is not quite the same as the ISS/digipeaters
contacts. If one can't find an "instruction sheet", how can one participate?
I was hoping that this year's AMSAT satellite book would give a clue, but
due to obvious circumstances, the book has not been published. Since I am
the only one in my ham clubs who does any packets at all, help is not going
to come from local hams. I am very thankful for the help from some hams
around the US who elmered me, so far.  Brad KC9UQR
