AO 51 is not the only satellite. I had to give up on AO 7 because of a K3 station who continues to use high power and trashes the transponder for others who would like to use it. I have had numerous people write me about that station. You can copy him in 5 or 6 spots when he transmits. That is an embarrassment too. Yet nobody speaks out. It reminds me of the fable about the Emperor and his new clothes.
I'll second the alligator problem on AO-7.... I was listening to a Mode B pass the other evening, and the poor girl's AGC was pumping away in time with the signal of a VERY over-powered SSB station, who I won't name...
*This* time....
