It amazes me that people to this day still call, "CQ satellite CQ satellite" and having it be so obvious that they cannot hear the downlink.
Unbelievable.

What a shame this pass, just a few QSOs can be finished because all calling others without give a chance the complete the current QSO. What we need to fix that?....
I will wait for a better pass.
Have a nice weekend.

If you pair that with good operating practice like giving call signs so that they're understandable and checking for available frequency first you may have a winner ;). 73 Mike K5TRI
