APRS on IO-86 is still working fine, active according to the published
schedule.
Typically there are 2-3 keyboard users trying to send APRS messages to each
other.

Hi Bob
It does take all kinds.
What was his callsign? That way none of us will work him when we hear him.

Hi Bob
I just want to say that if you want to share the store and solve it, then
you really do need to share the entire story with all the facts.
If you want to publicly shame an operator, then please do tell the entire
story with the operators call sign. If you are not able to tell the entire
story then it is not really worth mentioning it at all.
I barely work the FM birds and it is clear that they are a waste of time
and investment money, at least over North America. No different than
27.185Mhz. We have a repeater like that here in Toronto where there is no
control. Hopefully, we have seen the last of the FM repeaters in the sky
since this part of the hobby is partially out of control.
I would like to know the callsign in case he shows up on the Linear birds
and I know how to treat this operator.
Also, if I knew the callsign, I have no issue listening for him on an FM
bird and then emailing him privately to see what he has to say. Maybe
there is a misunderstanding as there are 2 sides to every story. But,
without the callsign, I won't waste my time.
OK, rant over and I apologize for my rant. I would just like more of the
facts and that is all I am saying -- with full respect of course.

I absolutely agree with Mike completely here.
I work with MANY people on every given day on a various number of radio
operational issues, with satellites just being one of the many modes.
And I have seen several times that someone getting this wrong is usually
making an honest effort but just may not have the skills down yet on how to
do this properly, and just needs a little assistance a lot more than
slamming for their lack of knowledge.
Every one of us have made a mistake or two, or even more in my case in the
many great years I have been a ham. And no doubt I will make more in the
future on something.
But if we have someone struggling with how to make this work, please feel
free to send me a private message with their callsign and I will be MORE
than happy to reach out to them to see where I can help them get on the
right path.
Let's not discourage a wonderful ham from using an exciting mode like this,
let's embrace their enthusiasm so they may be able to help others in the
same way.
And most importantly, it should be the responsibility of ALL of us to be
Mentors in this hobby. We don't even have to be an expert to be a good Mentor.
And never fail to remember that every one of us had to be mentored at some
point ourselves, as where would we be in this great hobby if that never
happened for us?
Let's not forget, this is supposed to be FUN. So let's make it so.
OK, stepping off my soap box now. ?

If you barely work the FM birds then you don't have a lot of credibility
criticizing them. ALL aspects of amateur radio have the occasional rude
participant. Yes, there are times, especially weekends, when the FM birds
are analogous to 50 people trying to get through a door at once. But most of
the time it is possible to get in a couple of contacts with a little
practice.?
Not everyone can afford the thousands of dollars needed for a
computer-driven SSB satellite ground station. The FM birds allow those of us
on a limited budget to experience the excitement of using our own budget
limited equipment to make a contact via satellite.?
Hopefully, AMSAT and other entities will continue to make available FM
satellites as well as more SSB satellites and APRS satellites, so everyone
who wants to participate will have that opportunity.

As a new LEO operator, with just 2 FM QSO/QSL logged, let me agree with
previous poster in that the satisfaction of using my two 5w HTs and copper
wire homebuilt antenna to communicate with a satellite is unbounded,
especially with my intended goal to introduce this STEM activity to my
granddaughter as soon as she gets her license. (her tech exam was cancelled
this week.)
Keep the FM birds, but lose the rudeness. I even recorded a ham whistling
on a SO-50 pass this week.

I worked several operators last night on SO-50 at about 0115 UT and
then......pffft. I couldn't get into the satellite at all after it passed
overhead and to the SE.
Does SO-50 shut down if there's too much use?
I was hoping to work the young woman who kept calling me but she was having
trouble or getting stepped on or whatever. She'd get out "W7O...." and
then nothing.
Just curious,

Hmmm, I wonder if this is what happened: " SO-50 also has a 10 minute
