I didn't know about any Mexican taxis. It's possible on SO-50 I suppose, but AO-27 was almost directly over the Chicago/ South Bend area, and their signals were Q5 and blocking a number of the regulars out.

You sure this wasn't the Mexican taxi stuff that normally plagues the satellite on the southern half of the passes?

Today on passes of both SO-50 and AO-27, there were terrestrial QSOs going on. It was especially bad on AO-27 with a few people clearly unable to get through due to the strength of the QRM. It almost sounded like there was a repeater setup on 145.850 with Roger beeps happening. So, what is the "proper" thing to do in situations like this?
