It was very enjoyable pass last night indeed. Much different than the other repeater. Although I do somewhat enjoy the fast pace of the "chaos" over there as well, it was nice to be able to hear myself clearly on the downlink for an entire transmission! 73, Michael, W4HIJ

Good Morning, everyone.
Thanks Drew, et al, for once again switching on AO-51's QRP/Second Channel.
It always makes for a nice change of pace, and judging from last night's pass over FN02, activity was quite good.
Hello John. I hadn't been on the FM sats in a very long time but picked last night to jump on after hearing about the second repeater. It was a very orderly group totally devoid of the chaos I had remembered from years past. It was a totally enjoyable experience. I got my 2 Q's and let other have at it. I later heard KC8RAN, KC2LRC, W4HIJ and KB2HSH. My thanks to Jay AA4FL and Drew KO4MA for my contacts. The 2nd repeater worked very well indeed.
