[amsat-bb] European alligator on SO-50 (F2IL)

Today I wanted to use my arrow and portable to make a qso on SO-50. M6DNU (also portable) called me but it took 5 minutes to complete that contact. F2IL was constantly calling cq on top of us. Do these guys even listen to the downlink?? Give portable stations also a change please! We only have 2 watts of rf power. Where is the "ham spirit" these days? 73, Eric.
