Next one! Though that wasn't the issue here. No one was stepping on him, just those trying to respond.
I really didn't mean to start the FM satellite debate here as there are obviously pros and cons and it's good to have both FM and linear transponders available for voice communications. I believe that 80% of the problems on SO-50 are caused by people who cannot hear (and Fox should do a great job reducing that problem). This pass tonight brought out some of that other 20% and I just felt like venting :)

Maybe we should have considered making Fox-1 dual frequency, so the DX could work split and you would hear the full exchange from his end? :-)

Listened to any HF pileups recently? The same thing constantly happens there, why would the satellites be any different?
