Hi Dave,

We have a similar situation at the University of Arizona: we are also
moving towards remote control.  Even before the campus virus shutdown
elevated the priority of  remote operation, I concluded that a directional
satellite system is not optimal for K7UAZ -- given the consistent scarcity
of volunteer labor available to maintain a directional antenna system.
This fall K7UAZ will be migrating to a set of omni, circularly polarized
antennas with preamplifiers.  Not that controlling az/el rotors is overly
complicated, but this change does help make remote operation even easier.

Regards,

Curt / K7ZOO
K7UAZ Station Manager

Bruce,

I totally get your pro-open source, but it seems to be every email
thread, I'd sure hope that AMSAT Engineering was aware of that clause.

Being lots of educational CubeSats use COTS parts, isn't it likely
that most would be only open sourcing the ground station elements
which might come under "Open Source Software" and be suitable for
NASA's guidelines, while AMSAT doesn't to my knowledge release gerber
pcb files it does release a good amount of ground station code, think
Fox Telem is open source and as others have pointed out there's other
projects shared on Github relating to AMSAT satellites.

Hi Oscar (very appropriate name for this list!),

If you have a computer or smart phone accessible during the pass, I suggest
opening up the following webpage:

http://www.amsat.org.ar/pass.htm

Set your grid square at the bottom and hit "Resolve and Set New".? Double
check that the little house on the map is on your location.? If that is
correct, simply click on the satellite in the list and the upper right will
change to a display that shows the elevation, azimuth, and current
uplink/downlink at your location.? Then it's simply up to you to change
your uplink and downlink VFO to the closest match of the displayed correct
doppler frequency.

So, there's a separate funding source for legal services? The point is that
regardless of where it came from, AMSAT paid for it. And it was a wasteful
use of the organization's resources.

Hello from Don KA9QJG   Ham for over 40 yrs.  Hope Everyone is staying Safe
and Healthy..  I hope its ok to change the ongoing thread.. I have heard
some New Hams using the Oscar sub bands for FM Simplex.  Below Is the ARRL
Band Chart Now   Reads  New




144.30-144.50

New OSCAR subband




145.80-146.00

OSCAR subband



They are using Freq 144.315 FM Simplex. One was telling a story over 25 yrs
ago they were using this Freq and a complaint was made to the FCC He got a
Letter from the FCC  . And He called respond the complaint and told the FCC
that this was the Old Oscar Sub band that had not been used since the
sixties Sats were Not up and working anymore.   And the FCC Said do not
worry about the complaint.   So after listening to all this on 144.315 over
a long time I thought the best place to get a real answer would be here.



Thanks everyone Please Stay Safe and Healthy

Probably better to wait for facts before saying it was a attack

I suspect they all used Cloudflare DNS which had an outage.

Sorry. The problem is not really that AMSAT doesn't do enough open source.
The problem is that AMSAT seems to be  overly constrained in its action.
Open Source is part of an overall strategy we suggest for a cure.

It was a Cloudflare outage. Backbone route caused a full DNS outage. Most
major sites on internet were hit. Wasn?t an attack.

Yes. But that's not the argument. You rendered it as if the moderators would
step in and act somewhat opaquely - the members need not agree. The reality
is that they should, and probably will, act according to published rules
which we are all aware of. Like a government, and as imperfectly.?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no argument unless you are trying to pick one.? I render nothing on
behalf of the moderators.? I speak only to the issue of civility as guests
in their "house".


In your house, others are expected to be polite and abide by the "rules of
your house".? Suppose you don't utter curses in your home.? Then, a guest
did.? You may ignore it at first thinking it was a 'slip', but after a while
curses started flowing.? When you call them out, they reply with "Show me
where cursing is forbidden in your acceptable guest policy". Absurd, right?


We are all guests here.? The moderators will (and should) step in and
moderate anyone they feel (yes, as imperfect humans) is endangering the
health of the list.? The moderators are under no obligation to explain
themselves to others.? It is their house.
