Hi, WA4HFN
Well sayd.............I agree with you !
CW and SSB is just what we have to do on VO-52
BTW, it's impossible to access VO-52 in FM with a 5 watt HT and arrow antennas because for a decent QSO on CW and SSB we need at least 50 watt and a 13 dBi 70 cm antenna.
We, operators of VO-52 linear transponder on CW and SSB we have a lot of counter measures against any FM intruder into the VO-52 linear passband.

Gentlemen,
These are not normal times, we are seriously short of satellites and
without satellites we don't have a hobby anymore. Without new and more satellites users we probably won't have a hobby anymore either.
Time for creative thinking.
FM on VO-52 might just be something we have to do.
