SUBJ: AT0TOR GATEWAY TEST RESULTS
1. FROM 130339Z AUG 04 THROUGH 141555Z AUG 04 I LEFT
THE GATEWAY RUNNING ON FREQUENCY KFH AND THE STATION
HEARD NOTHING DURING THAT TIME DUE TO POOR PROPAGATION.
2. DURING THE SATURDAY AM NET ON KDD, ALL MET MEMBERS
MOVED TO KFH FOR GATEWAY TESTING WITH NO CONNECTS HEARD.
3. AAR0ME THEN MOVED THE GATEWAY AT SUGGESTION OF AAR0JY
TO KDD FOR TESTING DURING THE AM NET WITH GOOD RESULTS.
SUCCESSFUL CONNECTS FROM AAR0EL AAR0JY AND AAR0AI.
4. I WILL CONTACT AAA9USA TO CONFIRM FINAL CONFIGURATION
DETAILS FOR THE GATEWAY.
5. TO SIMPLIFY THE SCHEDULE, ONCE A PERMANENT FREQUENCY
HAS BEEN SELECTED, THE GATEWAY WILL BE UP EXCEPT DURING
MY PARTICIPATION IN VOICE NETS OR REGULAR EQUIPMENT
MAINTENENCE. I HOPE A 4-MEG FREQUENCY CAN BE FOUND SO
THE MEMBERSHIP CAN CONNECT DESPITE POOR PROPAGATION.
THE 7-MEG FREQS ARE TOO HIGH TO USE DURING DAYLIGHT.
6. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, I WILL ANNOUNCE ANY DOWN-TIME IN
ADVANCE SO THE GATEWAY AVAILABILITY IS CLOSE TO 24/7.
7. ONCE A LIST OF REGULAR GATEWAY USERS IS ESTABLISHED
AS REGISTERED USERS, THE AUTOMATIC NEW-USER REGISTRATION
ROUTINE WILL BE DISABLED TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED
ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT TO THE GATEWAY.
8. ANYONE WITH AN A GOOD PRICE ON A DIGITAL-CAPABLE
HF-RIG I COULD BUY FOR A GOOD PRICE TO MAKE THE GATEWAY
24/7 PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY VIA EMAIL.
