Re: [amsat-bb] LEILA

Wayne,

All is not as it seems.....We have more than ONE Leila. We have a few hams
that have little play toys and that is how they have fun....They say that
they are "finding their down links" so it's OK........So don't blame the
"REAL" Leila.......

Record "Leila" and then check it out with a spectrograph against the *REAL
LEILA*.... You can see the difference in the way  the "Leila's" sound.....
