[amsat-bb] FM Satellites: Good Operating Practices for Beginning and Experienced Operators

[Jerry Buxton]

Don,

While someone may have opined that, from the AMSAT perspective the
expense is the reason.  The designs for Phase 4B include ragchewing and
uplink power (other than the minimums required) would make no difference
in who is on or not.
