And you can still use the FM equipment you bought on AO27, SO50, and SO67. I spent less than $200 on my FM satellite setup this year. It consists of a used Kenwood TM251A for $99, an Arrow antennas dualband J pole for $50, and a 50 foot run of 9913 flex for $40. It is still working fine on the other 3 sats.
Shock, horror, you can even use it for _terrestrial_ work. :) I spent around $10 for my satellite setup 10 years ago - to build a portable dual band antenna. The rest is gear I use for terrestrial work that gets hauled in for the job. :)
