Glenn, I'm glad that we agree that, although not ILLEGAL, it is NOT OK, as I
said. And the problem is not only for the birds receiving the FM signal but
also terrestrial operators receiving QRM. Again, the sats can't move but the
10m FM simplex "down there: is rampant and it always makes my skin crawl.

As long as we are visting the issue ( and apologies to those who still
expect it to be relevant to the FT757 ) what ARE the complete lists of all
10m IN/OUTs for the satellites? I would like to know where FM operation *IS*
OK...

Thanks
