[amsat-bb] Control Operator Clarification

[Jeff Johns]

Yes! It’s totally legal. My 7 year old who is studying for her Tech license has made contacts on FM birds as well as linears such as AO-7. She either uses my call or her sister’s call and we act as control ops. Get those kiddos on the air. If you ever want to set up a sked with some YLs here, just let us know.
