Not suggesting the sats should be "off limits." I'm suggesting that users should be courteous and welcoming to others, especially newcomers. That means not hogging the bird. -- Mark D.

My comment still stands. Making SATs "off-limits" for "certain users" for "certain reasons" makes no sense and couldn't be enforced. Besides, those users are just as much AMSAT Members as everyone else and have been the biggest supporters for many years. My 2 cents.

What is the primary reason we are all working for the good of AMSAT?
"To build satellites, and to disseminate information about them to the planet.”
We’re not a “contest club.” That’s icing on the cake for those interested.
We need to welcome those new to this aspect of the hobby. Give ‘em prime time.
Working only five days a week - during less-trafficked passes - would be a blast for award-seekers.
