I did not listen to the AO-51 pass you mention, but I would guess it was very crowded as is common. I will not comment on a guess but I will say that early morning passes are generally less crowded and laid back. If you are up for the VERY early morning passes of SO-50...come join me, I'm often

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.
