It looks as if we might have a local Amsat net as per the article below that 
I took from

AMSAT-Florida Announces Net and Email List

A coordinated effort by AMSAT-Florida is underway to establish a regional
AMSAT net in Central Florida. The Central Florida AMSAT Net began operation
last Thursday, March 30 at 19:30 ET on the N4HHA 443.100 mHz repeater
located in Orlando, and will continue meeting every week on this same day
and time. Preparations are being made to link the Orlando repeater to the
NI4CE repeater system that provides coverage throughout west central
Florida. More information on this network may be found at www.ni4ce.org.
When completed the net should be accessible from a large portion of Central
Florida, and in many areas on multiple frequencies. Future plans call for
the net to be available via Echolink.

Special thanks go out to the owners and operators of the repeater systems on
which the net is held, without which this net could not be possible.

In addition to the net, AMSAT-Florida would like announce the AMSAT-Florida
email list, a general satellite discussion list with a local flavor for
Florida AMSAT enthusiasts. Users may subscribe via the majordomo
instructions found at http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/maillist/ with a
list name of "amsat-florida".
