hi Ben have read your little piece on courteous AO51 Operation with interest and in general I toady agree with you, my only comment is why only AO51, because the other single channel satellites are almost as bad even the newly resurrected AO16 is a bit of a mad house a lot of the time here in Europe. I therefore suggest you rename your title as 'Courteous Single Channel Satellite OperationRegards Robert G8ATE > Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:43:09 -0400> From: bbj@innismir.net> To: amsat-bb@amsat.org> Subject: [amsat-bb] Courteous AO-51 Operation> > With the ever increasing madhouse that AO-51 is becoming, and with > spring just around the corner adding more users to the satellite, I've > typed up a fairly simple "do's and don'ts" guide to working AO-51.
