Hello space bird enthusiasts,
I have noticed that certain stations on busy SO-50 passes work the same stations that they have worked on many previous passes when they are in the same grid. Dupe contacts.
This can prevent and has prevented other stations from trying to work new grids that happen to be on or perhaps prevented them from working a new guy that hasn't been on the satellites before. On quiet passes I see no issues with working the same station you've worked hundreds of times before but on busy SO-50 passes it is just disruptive.
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon but that's my two cents.
Cheers & 73, Tucker W4FS
