Hello all! I have been reading some posts mentioning that Amsat India would encourage FM work through VO-52. Is that for real or the other way around? I personally would like to keep her as a SSB one and use SO-50 for FM contacts. Could some one clarify that?

Hi Luciano, PT9KK
Using FM work through VO-52 is the crazy idea coming from those that having anymore FM satellite like AO-51 are trying to infect the only satellite with a good linear transponder for CW and SSB
Imagine a crazy presentation :
"How to use a linear transponder with your HT and arrow antenna" !
I agree with you, keep VO-52 only for CW and SSB and use SO-50 for FM
