Well rot my little M3 socks.
I should have read up on it, but as far as I was concerned, M3 call sign holders could work satellites. It took a while for that to happen too if I remember correctly. Same for 2E calls as well.
I wasn't aware, until having just read the M3 course syllabus, that M3 call holders can only use 2 mtrs and 20 mtrs.
I'm sure I have heard M3 calls on 70cms repeaters before today. Well well well, we live and learn.
Thanks for the heads-up chaps.
