Jose, the only difficulty might be that AO-13 tends to favor the Northern
Hemisphere so it's a little harder to find times to work it from down
under.  But as Luck (one of my first OSCAR contacts) points out, there is a
lot of DX on the birds.  I'm also discovering that you can get up on Mode B
without too great an investment if you have a 10 meter transmitter and
receiver (or a transceiver and receiver).  If you get up on AO-10 or
AO-13, let me know as I still need to work VK!

Luck, I find it interesting that VUCC is available on satellites.  I had
heard about that change and in fact am working towards the new award, but
find it a little strange.  I have yet to work more than a couple of grids
more than once.  It's almost as though every contact adds a new grid for
me.  Have there been many satellite VUCC applications?

73,

I believe it comes out on 70cm.  There are plans afoot to extend
that to 438.525 Mhz on Mt Ginini as well.

Their 9k6 standard is V29 - the same as G3 FAX.  The reason they use V29 is  
cause its **real** cheap. Thousands upon thousands of V29 chips exist in FAX  
machines worldwide, so they've used it for packet. The trouble is, the key-up

We don't need to feed the entire contents of USENET NEWS to *every* .ampr.org 
address, but feed major internet interest groups (sci.*.*,rec.radio.*,  
aus.radio.?,tcp-group@ucsd.edu and the rest) using NNTP, and if anyone wants  
more services such as Internet FTP/email/etc, then they should telnet a BBS  
that provides these features. This is being done in NZ now, and gets rid of  
most of the political problems. Also, some BBS with Internet access may make  
available a dial up SLIP line you can connect NOS directly to the internet.

yes, but it's not ham radio.  I agree with you (we're looking at doing it in  
Kaitaia,) but we have at our disposal lots of real nice RF spectrum that is  
available free of charge. Sure we have to build/buy the gear to do it and in  
some situations it may cost many times more that a dial-up line, but we are  
**RADIO HAMS** and radio hams do it with RF (no elaborations on RF please!)

An appropriate amount of Radio Inspectors funded from license fees would drive
out the unwanted elements. As for the cost of equipment, a baycom modem
including software can be purchased for only $125. If the cb packet band was on
VHF, then modified handhelds costing as little as $299 could be used. Total
equipment cost of between $425 and $500 would, I think, be acceptable.
 
Despite the obvious difficulties from time to time with the cb band 
(voice) it has proved popular and its existence justified especially 
its emergency uses from time to time.

Well I just happen to be licensed (VK3KAT, formerly VK3KEW). Plus I keep
regular track of Amateur news on bulletin boards and through ARA. Unlike many
Amateurs, however, the fact that I am a licensed Ham does not predispose me to
an anti-CB attitude.

 | As a Commonwealth Public Servant I am well aware that most people 
have trouble with government forms despite their simplification in recent
years. As for your gross generalisation about Cbers, on the Cb bands are a wide
variety of people, some technically orientated some not. It is a fallacious
argument to suggest that one needs to be technically orientated to enjoy a
communications medium. The main advantage of CB, and I think it still holds
today, is the fact that anyone irrespective of technical ability can use it.
This means that people who might otherwise be deterred because of the time and
effort needed for study for a Ham license can get involved in radio. Granted
there are a lot of idiots on the band but there are also a lot of keen dx-ers
and people just wanting to chat without getting involved in the intracacies of
radio.

  In the context of how long Amateur Radio has been around, Cb is

It most certainly is, Jose!  While I'm not a DX'er by any stretch
of the imagination, I do in fact enjoy collecting QSL cards from
DX stations that I've worked on the various Amateur Radio satellites.

In fact, I just received a card from HS1JC in Thailand for a Fuji-
OSCAR-20 contact that we had last month.

There's LOTS of DX on the satellites, and it's entirely possible
to work well over a hundred countries via the satellites now.

By the way, the ARRL has recently changed its VUCC program so that
satellite contacts are allowed.  That makes the chasing of grid
squares on satellites an attractive and exciting aspect of Amateur
Radio operation.

That can't/doesn't currently happen in Austrlalia because it isn't posisble,
but yeah, sure I understand the concept, I still think we are barking up
the wrong tree if we want to look at large volume distribution. Radio is
fun, but without (as Craig mentioned in another posting) large volumes
of money to tie up, you can't get reasonable sorts of high speed networks
going. yet.

And neither was the original proposal .. the original proposal was to
use radio to carry telephone bss traffic, that is to what I was suggesting
the above.

Even if it can be done better some other way ? I advocate Geostationary
satellites, a network of them, until we can do that, we have buckleys chance
of achieving what we want.
