Re: [amsat-bb] Sapphire's last pass ad6nh-13

Hi Jim:

All this conversation about the APRS / packet satellites has got me 
curious enough to give it a try - - never done it.  I didn't even have 
NO-44 or NO-45 set in my Nova.  I do use UI-View for terrestrial APRS 
using APRS,RELAY,WIDE3-3.  (I tried to replace relay with DIGI, but it 
would not work).  I've read the messages on frequencies and I'm willing 
to be a satgate, but I don't know enough on how to do that.  Do I just 
add SGATE in the command line ?  Can I just use my Diamond X-500 on my 
roof or do I need to set up an autotrack with my directional antennas ?
