Hi,
I don't know exactly how is the experience of the use of LEO in other parts of the globe. All I can say is that in this part of Europe it is more frustration than satisfaction. Stations calling without listening. Stations calling during a QSO. Stations making satellites their private phone. I find myself and my portable setup near the edge. I look down and I feel like willing to dive into the deep abysm. Crash my Arrow antenna and my TH-D7 and say goodbye. I quit.
What can I do to change this behaviour? If I say something to them they will acuse me of being something I'm not.
Let's keep supporting AMSAT and wait for a better future.
