[amsat-bb] AO92 L/V mode??

[Mark L. Hammond]

Hi, rest assured it was an oversight from command stations. Sometimes we
get busy with other things (real life) and miss an email.  We’ll try to do
better. And by “we” I mean the whole command team. KO4MA and me ;)

Hopefully users will cooperate on Tuesday night so we can put into L/v at
that time.  I’ve been pondering and suggesting a long term swap to
Tuesday/utc Wednesday, like we did for many years as Experimenter’s night.
There are so many grid events and activations on weekends—seems like a good
move to change our schedule so we can have our cake and eat it too!

73,
