Hi Simon,
Thank you for your Ao-51 recording.
Of course to have a qso, are required two things ... one station calling and one station answering, if a lot of stations are calling on generic way, is not possible to make a complete qso.
Anyway I heard some stations that answered/called to specific call on right way.
(We hope that too much coffee was drunk only this morning ..HI !)

I just recorded a pass of AO-51 from my home in Switzerland, this is not for the faint of heart. Equipment this side is TS-2000, SignaLink USB, crossed dipoles and an unreleased version of Ham Radio Deluxe.
Anyway - count the number of callsigns you hear, then the number of actual QSO's :-(
It's not always as bad as this, maybe too much coffee was drunk before the satellite sailed overhead.
The recording is a MP3 in the ZIP file http://forums.ham-radio.ch/attachment.php?attachmentid=667&d=1177577469
