Thank you sharing some good operating practices that would make satellite ops in the US more enjoyable and equitable as well. 73, Gary AB3ID
************************************************************************************* Hi all in Europe, It is obviously about time to repeate a few good points about operating via the FM repeater satellites.
1. Do not transmit if you can not hear it
2. When the satellite is busy - limit the number of QSO's to ONE
3. Do not call over an ongoing QSO
4. A valid QSO just needs the call and the report
5. Give way to weak stations like /p and /m
6. Allow DX-peditions to make as many QSO's as there are callers
That was the short version :-)
I have a long version in English, Italian, Russian, Spanish and French. I can send it to you if you want it. Could use a few other languages like Greek, Polish and others. It would be nice if you can get it in your national journals.
And please no flames !
