Re: [amsat-bb] AO91 In Trouble?
Umesh, I don't necessarily think that the people who step on us are necessarily simplex guys. Simplex people can hear when you are speaking. It is sad, but I believe it is very rude hams who believe they are more important. More like contesters who will step on anybody to get their contact. 73Brad KC9UQR In a message dated 5/1/2019 11:06:16 PM Central Standard Time, amsat-bb-request@amsat.org writes:
It was one of the busiest passes I have encountered and it isn't even Saturday yet !! Heard many new calls and tried calling back but got stepped on, probably from guys operating simplex, finally got N7AGF when the bird was almost LOS.? No worries, it was a fun learning experience. ?73! Umesh

Uh, no (at least most of the time). If I'm in southern California uplinking to a satellite over Arizona, a guy operating simplex on the uplink in New Mexico is NOT going to hear me.

We can take this off line..., but you both seem to be correct. I guess Brad meant "can listen via satellite", and I had implied that the simplex ops cannot hear if they double with another. Its like a pile up in a HF contest, so no worries, learning something new every time !! 73!
