OK, wait a minute.
You are telling me that we as hams are going to put a GEO-stationary satellite in orbit, and have some entity with cargo planes drop communications uplink gear into a disaster zone for access to the bird? To people that are trained and competent to pull it out of the shipping containers, set it up and align it, and then use this gear during a disaster. Then obviously, after debrief, crate the whole thing up and get it shipped back to where ever.
The easiest part of this whole thig is getting the bird built and into space.
Getting it dropped, by any one is going to be a real task.
Securing the gear that came down from the sky will be damn near impossible.
People will lay claim to it that are armed. And I don't care if you label it as dog crap and smear some on the outside for good measure, if it's a disaster situation, and it's getting dropped from a plane, it don't take a rocket scientist to realize it's valuable.
And to that end, turning loose satellite uplink gear to the general public, out the back of an airplane, is gonna be a non-starter for ANYONE with a bird in the air that you could interfere with via said equipment.
Then we have the trained and competent individuals that will setup the gear after they wrestle it away from the armed masses that are fighting over the box labeled as dog poop. How is it that we are gonna get these folks trained? Are they going to go take a 'special' ham test that all the questions and answers are in a new book from Gorden West via a FOIA request like he does with all his other study guides so we have another subset of hams that don't know crap about electronics, electricity, or WHY THEIR HOME BREW PTT FOOTSWITCH IS ALWAYS KEYED UP BECAUSE THEY CONNECTED ONE WIRE TO ONE SIDE OF A METAL HINGE AND THE OTHER WIRE TO THE OTHER PLATE OF THE SAME METAL HINGE WITH NO INSULATOR AT THE HINGE?!?!?!?! Yes, this was a topic of discussion of a ham on the local repeater a few years back. And a real solid reason that ham operators have left the vhf repeaters in droves.
I am sorry but this is full of "just what the hell were you thinking" situations before the first circuit board is created.
If you are gonna do it, work out the problems first.
Get the ARES regional coordinators to designate a number of hams to be trained and to receive the gear.
Get them trained with backup personnel so that we have regional access points for the system.
figure out what sort of situations that the gear will be used and what sort of communications protocols will be employed,
Figure out HOW the regional uplink points will communicate with the 'boots on the ground' in areas away fro the regional access point.
Then you are getting somewhere.
having satellites is cool. having a Geo-stationary bird is WAY cool.
not having a good plan to use it, then you have the same problem we have now with most Emergency communications setups.
