[amsat-bb] ISS Unattended Beacon Theory (UBT) - PROVE ME WRONG!

[Robert McGwier]

That is what it is now Bob.  It is people on the ground doing the bleeping
and they are using it as a pseudo bent pipe transponder doing demod/remod
constantly unattended.  is that how it was intended to be used?

Tell me how to stop this behavior without turning off UI?  Or maybe you
feel this is not a real impediment to comms.  The originator of this thread
seems to feel it is.
