[amsat-bb] Re: FD Contacts!

Heard LOTS of stations on the first passes of AO-27, SO-50, and AO-51 (V/U) 
that obviously didn't read the new rules,
making one contact after another, even after being told "only ONE contact 
per FM satellite!"

I did manage to make my one contact each, and then focused on AO-07 and 
VO-52 for the rest of the contest.  Made 20
more contacts on those.  AO-07 is very interesting to listen to when she's 
being hit with too much power on CW...  hearing someone's
voice being "bounced" by the ditty-dots!

Sure did miss FO-29!!!
