Yes Drew a number of us try to enjoy sevaral passes a day.

But!

KEEP IT SHORT!

I mean some operators simply not able to forget a kind of "standard QSO 
text".

There is no time to send more info than report, LOC and -perhaps- a name, 
when it is a very first QSO.

May I call attention of all those who do not always keep it in mind how 
short an orbit can be?

Yesterday I have been waiting for a certain station who started to send info 
about his equipment
-and when he finished, the orbit was also finished for me!

Sevaral station may wait for you when you are in QSO!

I do hope experienced radio operators will help "rag chewers" to make their 
Qs shorter!
