So I take it you're not much of a fan of FT-8. I'm totally with \nyou. FO-20, FO-29, The Russian RS sats - these were great.\n\nFor me FM is almost impossible. By the time I hear them they are jammed. \nI'm not going to fight my way through for a call sign and a grid square. \nIn the 80's and 90's you could at least get a minute or two in and know \nwho you were talking to and what he was running.\n\nDoug -- K0DXV\n\nOn 2/1/2021 3:47 PM, Jim Walls wrote:\n> On 02/01/2021 11:22, Brad Smith via AMSAT-BB wrote:\n>> Has AMSAT ever taken a survey to find out what the membership wants \n>> for future satellites, or are we so insignificant that our wants do \n>> not matter, just as long as the dollars keep flowing toward AMSAT? \n>> How many of us would rather see a couple of FM birds put into orbit, \n>> rather than the difficult to work satellites?
