Not to deter grid chasing and awards, does every FM bird have to be that way? I do miss my start with "portable stuff" a decade or so ago, and just having quick QSOs with new contacts on SO-50 from the pizzeria parking lot when I visited Mom and Dad...

I can tell you from personal experience as a satellite mentor, giving presentations which always excite potential new satellite users, then having them go into the field to experience the bedlam of a FM Satellite, that they too often become discouraged and give up. Easysat is a very deceptive name, especially on weekends.
