In fact on AO-7 one will find themselves in a three or four way QSO. You can actually have a conversation! 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle -- "if this were easy, everyone would be doing it"

The last was pass to the east of the UK was an absolute disgrace to the hobby of amateur radio and satellite user/operators.

I would have been ashamed if I had been giving a satellite demonstration to non or potential radio amateurs, or potential satellite users, to let them listen to the cacophony of ignorant operators who were on that last pass.

Yes, Dave we have the same coterie of rude operators in thke US as well...

But, of course, the mode selected for AO51 (ssb 2-user voice), is the big contributing factor...

You will not find that on AO-7, FO-29 or VO52....
