    "content": "(Sarcasm alert......)\n\nJohn,\n\n> The FM sat's in my option is near useless with all the\n> \"using them famous words of the late W2OY\"\n> Just way to many \"kids, lids and space cadets \"\n\nNear useless?  The FM satellites worked very well for many to make\nQSOs on the passes I worked on Saturday.  Yes, rapid-fire QSOs are\nthe order of the day, but you'll hear the same sort of rapid-fire QSOs\nnext weekend in the CQ WW SSB contest.  And..... wait for it... that\ncontest doesn't use the satellites.  It's on HF!  Many thousands spend\nthat weekend making lots of QSOs, and giving out the same information\nfor each and every QSO.  Hams will travel to many different parts of\nthe world, just to be able to say \"59 (CQ zone number)\" for up to 48\nhours on the radio.\n\nAs for the W2OY reference... let's see...  At 43, I'm not a kid.  Some\nin a local radio club will call me a \"kid\", since I am a bit younger than\nthe median age of the club members.  I'm not a lid, so I guess I must\nbe a space cadet.  Do I get a certificate for that?  Thanks for clearing\nthat up for me, John.  I needed that dose of name-calling on a\nMonday morning.    :-\\\n\n> Standing in their back yard on a FM HT.\n\nOh, no!  Someone is using an FM HT in their back yard to work a\nsatellite?  Heavens, no!  Report them to....   ???\n\nI've been doing satellite demonstrations and presentations out\nhere for almost 5 years.  Even after being at some of the same\nhamfests for each of those years, there are still people who do\nnot understand that satellite operating does not require a huge\nstation and lots of $$$ to get started.  Yes, you can end up\nspending a lot of money.  It's the same for those on HF, who\nwant to go from a 100W transceiver/dipole station to something\nwith Yagis, a tower, a transceiver with more bells and whistles,\nmaybe an amplifier...\n\n> Pass after pass it seems to always to be the same people.\n\nI wasn't on the satellites in the HEO days.  It seems like that you\nwould have also heard many of the same people on AO-40, day\nin and day out.  Other than possibly having longer conversations\non HEO satellites than you would on LEO satellites, it may have\nbeen similar to what you heard on the FM birds.  This is a bad\nthing because.....   ???\n\n> Sure do (still) miss AO-40....\n\nI miss that, and the other HEO satellites.  But it's 2011, not 2001,\nand AO-40 isn't here.  It might come back like AO-7 did, but it might\nbe like most ham satellites - once it goes quiet, it stays quiet.\nRather than listening to the silence from AO-40, I'll keep on using\nthe satellites that are operational. I'll also continue to make friends\nas I log more QSOs, keep learning more about this corner of our\nhobby, and - you've seen this in many of my -BB posts over the\npast few years - having fun!\n\nI'm looking forward to the presentations about the Fox project at the\nupcoming AMSAT Symposium.  I'll keep going out to hamfests with an\nAMSAT table, because it is fun to meet people and talk about this\ncorner of our hobby.  I'll look forward to other projects like FUNcube\nand KiwiSat, hoping to have more satellites in whatever orbit to work.\nMaybe that new Polish satellite I just read about with the FM/SSB\ntransponder will be just as much fun as AO-16 was a couple of years\nago.  And, yes, I would love to see P3E launched and operational.\nI would be happy to adapt my portable all-mode station to work that,\nalong with the other satellites.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
