... Maybe that's the answer, changing the uplink frequency at random and posting that change here ...

I cannot think of a worse idea.

The "best available information" should ALWAYS be on the Control Ops pages - the only pages that are maintained by those who are in control of the satellites.

Start eliminating operations by posting changes only here ... or some other private or semi-private clique ... and you undermine what the FM satellites are supposed to be all about.
