[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 mode change and recommendation

Hi  All.

Here, listens 2 Europe pass (08h00 and 09h40)
and only 1 qso to every pass

I think that a lot of OM Uplink in FM !
Of more a lot of QRM on the entry VHF when the SAT is at the SOUTH

I have tested also the CW for the 1st January... that seems good.

Best 73     Jep F6BYJ
