Lets see now, some tongue in cheek ideas on the use of FM birds.
1. FCC prohibit FM radios that put out more than 5 watts on satellite
frequencies.
2. FM satellites should have controlled access similar to closed
repeaters so only authorized operators could use them.
3. Ban the use of any

Ah you are inventing problems. The real NC would quickly assert
their position. There are lots of nets held on
Here is a suggestion. Several of us have mentioned we do not hear many people
on the satellites in modes like SSB. If even half of the people complaining
about multiple FM contacts tried to work FO-29, we would have activity wall to

Ed. There is a big difference between an HF net where everyone can more or
