You assume that the rovers have nothing better to do on weekdays than rove! Weekends are the times working people can get out, and the times working people can chase them. The problem is neither with rovers or award-seekers. The problem is with people who think they have to say hello to their buddies over and over, every pass, every day. How many times do you have to work FM18 or DM43? That's the traffic that's causing the problem. If the regulars would start listening for new calls and new locations, rather than working each other over and over, that would go a long way toward solving the problems.

What is the primary reason we are all working for the good of AMSAT?

"To build satellites, and to disseminate information about them to the planet.”

We’re not a “contest club.” That’s icing on the cake for those interested. 

We need to welcome those new to this aspect of the hobby. Give ‘em prime time. 

Working only five days a week - during less-trafficked passes - would be a blast 
for award-seekers.
