[amsat-bb] SO-50 QSO's

[John Belstner]

I heard lots of new calls on SO-50 today and I really wanted to give them a shout back and say welcome.
Unfortunately, that's about all I heard was a bunch of folks throwing their call sign out.
Is there some "transmit only" mode that I'm not aware of?   ;-)

On a more serious note, try to hear the downlink first before transmitting.  It reduces QRM and greatly increases your chances of making a QSO!

Thanks and 73,
John W9EN
