After reading several articles posted by menbers, this particular line really stood out.
How can someone supposedly 'responsible' make such a stupid comment?
They obviously have no idea that more power than neccessary robs power from ALL users on the satellites. (snip) Someone from the ARRL, who shall
remain nameless, is actually recommending as much uplink power as possible to improve one's
chances,(/snip)
This is especially true with SSB/CW transponders.
This is thoughtless commenting in general, and must be ignored, but such a person should be informed that making statements such as this is NOT what we need from a 'reputable' organization, if indeed, it actually came from someone within the ARRL.
Just my .02C on the subject.
