Hi, While we're at it talking about the AO-51 craziness at times (5 am passes are quite pleasant) I'd like to bring up another thing that constantly gets me which is not using phonetics for call signs. Just because it is a FM satellite doesn't mean everybody is clearly understandable and it makes it more difficult to copy calls. Why not just use phonetics to begin with and make it easier for everybody to work stations?
Just an idea. Comments welcome. 73 Mike K5TRI _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
