    "content": "Hi Chris,\n\nLet us know your successes and challenges-be sure to consider that it’s not a bad idea to listen to an entire overhead pass of all the fm birds as assessment without transmitting.   \n\nNotice fades due to satellite spin and how you hear through foliage etc down to horizon \n\nI like this idea because Scanners are cheap \n\nyour experience may help others here reading satisfy the crave to work the satellites and may try with gear they have based on what you report back\n\n      or \n\nyou may say Meh - not good don’t go there for some reason. \n\n73 have fun \n\nThanks,\nMike\nW4UOO\n\nSent from my iPhone\n\n> On Dec 13, 2018, at 12:12 PM, Chris Pohlad-Thomas <[email protected]> wrote:\n> \n> John,\n> Thanks for all this good information!\n> \n>> On Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 11:48 AM John Brier <[email protected]> wrote:\n>> \n>> That will probably work well.
