AMSAT NET VIA COMMERCIAL SATELLITE

摘要

The Houston AMSAT Net originates in Houston every Tuesday at 10 p.m. local time on the 147.10 repeater and is heard coast-to-coast and in Canada over local repeaters.How did this small group of 4 people pull off such a feat? It all began in January, 1994 when Craig Davidson, WD5BDX, the owner and trustee of the repeater decided to try something new. He made arrangments with the Omega Radio Network to donate the time for our local net to be retransmitted over Galaxy 3, Transponder 17 on a 5.8Mhz Audio Subcarrier. This also happens to be one of the secondary audio subcarriers of the Shop At Home Channel.
