Getting an OO involved would be a waste of time, they have no more authority to do anything than you or I.
As long as we have these self proclaimed Satellite Instructors neglecting the benefit of Full Duplex operation, and the guy that thinks he must talk to every station on the bird, the problem won't go away. What we need to do is exactly what someone else said, shoot the offending station an e-mail and try to elmer them in operating procedures. Full Duplex would take care of a lot, and its easily done with a couple of $35 dollar Chinese HT's and an Arrow or Elk antenna. These operating issues have become much more obvious now that there is only one FM Bird left in operation. Anyway, attempt to educate if at all possible and maybe it will get better. 73, Craig W1MSG -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Bryce Salmi Sent: Monday, September 2, 2013 2:50 PM To: amsat-bb Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: So50 I may be mistaken but wouldn't instances like this be viable candidates to notify an ARRL Official Observer about? They are there to help educate people about proper operating practices and nudge others who are pushing the limits.
