[amsat-bb] 13 Colonies Special Event

[John Brier]

I heard you at least once, early in the pass. I tried calling you from K2J
as that would be a fun colony to colony contact.

The pass was fairly hectic. Sorry you experienced that. It unfortunately is
not uncommon on FM passes, and yes, that is why some prefer linear sats.

I will say it is not always that bad and sometimes a lot of people will
make a lot of contacts and when it's really orderly it is actually
impressive to hear how so many people can share such a limited resource.
