I like rule number 3. I hate it when somebody calls cq while you are in the middle of a qso.

Hi all in Europe, It is obviously about time to repeate a few good points about operating via the FM repeater satellites.

1. Do not transmit if you can not hear it

2. When the satellite is busy - limit the number of QSO's to ONE

3. Do not call over an ongoing QSO

4. A valid QSO just needs the call and the report

5. Give way to weak stations like /p and /m

6. Allow DX-peditions to make as many QSO's as there are callers

That was the short version :-)

I have a long version in English, Italian, Russian, Spanish and French. I can send it to you if you want it. Could use a few other languages like Greek, Polish and others. It would be nice if you can get it in your national journals.

And please no flames !
