I'm having that same fun now learning about AO-40... I even got scolded by
Leila (Whoops;-).

Wayne replies:

LEILA frequently "scolds" me when I'm not even transmitting.  That is, I
frequently hear the LEILA siren while tuning around empty portions of the
AO40 transponder.

It's not really a problem when the LEILA siren activates for no apparent
reason on an empty frequency.  Except that when I hear the LEILA siren on an
occupied frequency, I wonder if it's because someone running excess power or
if it's just one of those "random LEILA events".  It brings to mind the
fable "The boy who cried WOLF".

I do NOT advocate disabling LEILA.  I just want to point out that when you
hear the LEILA siren, that does not ALWAYS mean that you are using excessive
uplink power.
