Your comparing commerical spectrum with amatuer spectrum.  Its sorta like

   Heck, why dont we just set up 927Mhz paging transmitters like they do
two Mhz higher?  and start our own paging companies.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low. The largest flare since
       yesterday was an optically uncorrelated B1 at 24/1339Z. Region
       7757 (N12W32) is the only spotted region on the disk.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low.

            The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV
       electron flux at geosynchronous altitude was moderate for most
       of the day.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be quiet to unsettled.

            HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
       regions except the polar night-sector paths where minor signal
       degradation was observed for the first half of the UTC day.
       Conditions improved to near-normal for the second half of the
       day.  Near-normal propagation is expected to continue.

NOTES:
     All times are in Universal Time (UT).  Characters preceding begin, max,
     and end times are defined as:  B = Before,  U = Uncertain,  A = After.
     All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
     associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
     x-rays.  Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
     optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.

     Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:

          II        = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
          III       = Type III Sweep
          IV        = Type IV Sweep
          V         = Type V Sweep
          Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
          Loop      = Loop Prominence System,
          Spray     = Limb Spray,
          Surge     = Bright Limb Surge,
          EPL       = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

The Houston-to-Dallas path is easily spanned by:
  (a) 160 meters
  (b)  80 meters
  (c)  40 meters
  (d)   2m ssb with relatively good antennas and moderate power
  (e) 220mHz ssb with equipment/station as above
  (f) through a UHF link system known as the "Armadillo Radio Network" , a
        privately owned and non-publicly accessible linking system that
        covers a goodly part of the state.

So if the dude don't wanna become a ham because he can't talk from Houston
to Dallas, he needs another excuse.

Subject: Where to QSL Shuttle Please ??
To: [e-mail]

PR.I was finally successful in contacting STS-65's packet robot
.after many attempts, so would like a card.  Can someone please
.tell me the address to send my card to?


POSTCARDS FROM SPACE--
SAREX QSL CARDS

Participating in the Shuttle Amateur Radio EXperiment can be an exhilarating
experience.  But, as many hams know, waiting for that coveted QSL card requires
a lot of patience.  Designing a card for the ultimate DXpedition can be a
lengthy process.  Here's a behind-the-scenes glance at producing a SAREX QSL,
and some tips to help you get your card.

After a SAREX mission, ARRL and the SAREX Working Group work with the crew
members to select photos from that mission, and design and layout the QSL card.

This may take a few months because of the busy schedule of the astronauts,
among other things.  Once the card is designed and printed, ARRL forwards the
QSL cards to whichever Amateur Radio club is involved with the awesome task of
managing the cards.

In the past, amateurs sent their contact and listener reports directly to the
managing club.  Now, all reports should be sent to ARRL Headquarters.

In order for the managing process to run smoothly, please include the following
information in your QSL or report: Shuttle flight number (STS-XX), date, time
in UTC, frequency and mode (FM voice, packet, sstv or fstv).  This documents
the contact or listener report.  In addition, you must also include an SASE
using a large, business-sized envelope if you wish to receive a card.  No cards
are distributed without the proper postage affixed or sufficient IRCs included.


The following clubs have graciously volunteered their service for handling QSL
cards for the following missions:

STS-58  Connecticut DX Association
STS-60  Cowley County Amateur Radio Club, Kansas
STS-59  Orange Park Amateur Radio Club, Florida

GENERAL SAREX QSOs

The extremely busy work schedules of the Astronauts may sometimes reduce your
chance for an unscheduled, random contact with the Shuttle.  The SAREX Working
Group recognizes the longstanding commitment of the Amateur Radio community in
supporting SAREX activities and attempts to schedule as many opportunities as
possible for general ham contacts during flights.

The repeater is open.  The remote base its part of is not.  The remote
base uses different input frequencies than the repeater pair.  At times
the repeater input frequency is used as the remote base input.  It is
controlled by a 7k so the remote base is separate from the repeater.
There are eight control ops who keep on turning the 103.5 off when
undesirables surface.  I cant fathom anybody turning it off on a
legitamite QSO.
  The 449.6375 repeater is open with a 103.5 PL, for legit QSO's.
