Welcome back to the sats. I did not hear the pass you mentioned, but typically AO-51 is very busy on mid-day passes, even more so on weekends. The early morning passes are usually better. Of the FM birds, AO-51 is the busiest, AO-27 is a bit less busy, and SO-50 is usually not very busy. SO-67 is also not that busy, but it has been turned on just for a week or two a month. The SSB birds are all uncrowded, with room for everybody.
