- * AO-13 MODE S REPORT *
- =======================
- With its new operating schedule, AO-13 is now seeing increased activity
- during its Mode BS and S periods from users of the 2.4 GHz transponder.
- With 4 hours available per orbit, listeners to the S band transmitter are
- enjoying strong signals and noise free reception.
-
- Antennas are mainly small dishes from 0.6m to 1m diameter although some
- stations are successfully using loop Yagis. With a 1m dish on receive and
- a single 19 element yagi on 435, good results can be achieved with 10 to 20
- watts.
-
- Stations having good signals on 2.4 GHz last week included:
-
- N2IQU G0ONA ZS6JT VE3GTF JA7EC PT9FH OE6DGV TI5RLI VK6BMD

-
- It comes from the RST signal reporting system. (I'll let others flame
- each other as to its orginations.) The scales being R for readibility
- S for signal strength and T for tone. (We're speaking morse wireless
- here.) R is from 1 (not readable) to 5 (perfectably readable). S is
- from 1 (I can't hear it) to 9 (It's really loud) and T for for tone
- with 1 (rough AC buzz) to 9 (pure note).
-
- Of course, with the advent of phone (am and ssb) operation they dropped
- the tone report. And as most DXers will tell you, "You're 59 LA" doesn't
- have any bearing on received signal, but instead means, "I want a QSL
- card."

- The only thing I find surprising about this is the tone in Newsline that
- implies that the authors and editors of that rag seemed to think
- that so-called 'open' repeaters were under some legal obligation to
- accept all comers.
-
- It has *NEVER* been the case that a repeater licensee could not control
- who used his equipment. The letter from the FCC simply reinforces what
- has ALWAYS been the rule about this. It's not an issue of 'closed'
- vs. 'open', no matter how much Newsline would wish to cast it in that light.
-
- Anyone who thought otherwise was simply ignorant of the Rules.
-
- Must have been a slow week for news.

- The Division Directors are listed on page 8 of any recent QST.
