What I can't understand is that people continue to shame other hams for not operating on the linears.
It's not shame, at all!
Having only just recently obtained the equipment necessary to work the linears (and then, only at the shack, my equipment is not portable in any way), I can say that it was not cheap nor easy to do. Working the FM birds is both far cheaper and easier, for sure.
But they give less satisfation, imho. Please see my other reply on this thread.
Those that are stuck on the FM birds are likely not doing it by choice.
Yes, I've tried FM birds but I'll seldom use them again
Have a good time
