No matter what bird(s) you try. \n\nMost of the FD stations have no clue about satellites, they just get \nthe idea they need to make 1 satellite contact or as many as they can. \nThey don't know about all the rules particular to AMSAT, and they \ndont' care. \n\nThey ask somebody what frequency to transmit and listen on and then\nthey get their 500 watt amp, big beam or no beam, no preamp, and \nstart calling and calling. They don't hear anything so they just mess up\nthe\nwhole works. Happens every year. \n\nYou either have to bear with it and make your one contact or give up.\n\n73, \nK6YK\n\n\nOn Mon, 27 Jun 2011 21:33:34 +0100 Gordon JC Pearce <[email protected]>\nwrites:\n> On Mon, 27 Jun 2011 13:48:48 -0500\n> Patrick Green <[email protected]> wrote:\n> \n> > The ARRL should impose an ERP limit for satellite contacts.
