Re: [amsat-bb] Thanks

[Bob Bruninga <bruninga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please do NOT do station-to-station connections.  It is very
innefficient.  Just send UI frames instead to the other station.  It is
much better for everyone, and you still get to QSO with your buddy...

I monitored MIR yesterday and there were FOUR (4) pairs of stations all
trying to cnnect to each other.  NO one got any message text through!
Please just send a UI packet with  your message in it.  It is far more
effecient!  Everyone will get it.  

If you try to CONNECT, it takes 5 packets just to send ONE!.
Better to just send your TEXT line by itself..
