MIR and ISS amateur radio

[McGrane <tmcgrane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all-

I disagree with alain's recommendation of making ISS radio difficult,
exclusive, and expensive in terms of required equipment.

This is a wonderful hobbie and everyone should be able to partake in 
the space based aspect of the hobbie.

I do agree that the MIR packet is wild but I think we should all calm down
and reduce the qrm.
Working the astronauts and cosmonauts is very exciting and popular.

Lets keep it simple and for everyone. I'll wait my turn. 73, Pat N2OEQ
