Yes, the basic article is well written. Could we perhaps contact:
Richard Hackney, N1ASA Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Western Kentucky University Director, NASA Kentucky Space Grant Consortium
and suggest modifying his article to include information on using full duplex? If he were to understand that his article would reach wide readership as a tutorial for beginning satellite users ...well, he might be quite responsive to making these changes.
If he is not so disposed to writing it, then inform him that an appendix would like to be attached addressing duplex operation.
just my thoughts on this 73 Ed - KL7UW

I wouldn't go so far as to not recommend it.... there is a wealth of good information there. I would go ahead and recommend it with Howard's caveat: full-duplex operation is the preferred, less frustrating, and MUCH more effective method.

I personally won't recommend this article to new satellite users. The authors dismissal of 'full duplex' operation will only increase interference on the FM LEO satellites.
