[SkyHub] 5 secs between transmissions

[Greg Liverman]

This is an issue with any linked repeater system, even analog repeaters with analog links, like ColCon, CRA, CMRG, etc.

Two operators on the same repeater will almost always beat out an operator on a remote repeater unless they leave space between transmissions..

One more weekend note regarding SkyHubLink!

It is VERY IMPORTANT that we all try to remember to leave 5 seconds between transmissions.

Digital users are having a tough time being heard when analog conversations are going on, just part of the nature of the beast!

Being quick on the trigger will not allow others to be heard, and while old habits are hard to break, (and I am guilty too) we really need to remember this as a courtesy to other operators, just good amateur practice.

ALSO, when in an extended QSO, which by the way are VERY WELCOME, please ask if anyone else needs to use a repeater linked in every so often.

Thanks for your attention to these guidelines, it helps everyone since we have so many users and repeaters!  Just makes it ALL MORE FUN!
