Unfortunately AO-51 seems to be plagued by the same cretins that jam repeaters with silly noises and bursts of music at certain times. Even when they're not doing that there's always someone trying to run 2.5kW into a massive stacked antenna. I've noticed that these are also the ones that sit there calling "CEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO <whistle whistle whistle> CEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEEEE KYUUUUUUU" for nearly the whole damn pass without pausing for breath.
This fact was anticipated by interested AMSAT members many years prior to the launch of AO51, with respect to 2-user FM voice. It was voiced at several conventions that I attended, and some of us were told by some of the "powers that were" that is was "none of our business"!! At that time some of us had only one vote each!!
