[amsat-bb] Terrible Repeater QRM on AO-92 at 15:40z

[Michael Walker]

Hi Roy

What happens when the world ends?  You and I and just about everyone is not
able to control the future.

If we all thought about 'what if' we wouldn't have gotten out of the stone
age and the Wright Brothers wouldn't have flown.

All we can do is deal with the present and the facts we have at hand.

I look at it this way.  If all the idiots want to jam the crap out of the
FM birds, so be it.  That means they are leaving the linear birds alone.
