Hello to all,
I have a few questions that I am sure that will sound stupidto most of you. I was wondering if the satellite is like a repeater where you transmit on one frequency and it recieves the signal and transmits it back on another. Also, does it cover a greater distance than most repeaters? Besides the chalenge of working it what is the advantages of working satellites over repeaters?
I was also wondering if any one on the list has worked earth moon earth. or moon bounce. I have heard of it gbut don't know a lot about it. I am sure it isn't anything you can do if living in an apartment. I think it might be interesting to hear about different modes people have tried. and how it worked with speach. When I lived in a moble home and used ASAP that was when many people were still using DOSS. I tried working RTTY. I made a few contacts. One was to a station in Mexico. Another question I had was is there a way to set JAWS to read call signs letter by letter instead of pronouncing them as words?
take care and 73's.
Bill
