Thanks Guys!
That is some very interesting information indeed, thanks for that.

Hi Pete,
I'm sending you a couple of links of more possible ham operating

Another interesting situation involving AO-40 (sobsob) was when running full
duplex there was a very noticeable delay while monitoring yourself. Figuring
the round trip distance and the speed of light. I had to turn down the volume
a little as I started talking sort of strange. Damn-

My apologies for missing the 20/0914Z FO29 and AO51 passes last night. I
