Sat operators: When I started in satellites in the 1990,s.things
were different.
They had a person that sort of monitored a
lot of satellite passes
and conversations.
He was a ham that operated sats too.
What he did was sort of police the
operators,
When you used too much power he sent you
an e- mail.
I believe the rule of thumb to operate on
the satellite is
never use no morepower on the uplink than
you have on
the beacon signal downlink.
So when he became a SK we didn,t have any
body to monitor
our QSO,s.
Maybe you old timers can remember his call.
Maybe we can have comments from the real
old satellite operators.
