Hi Jake, K3UAZ
I agree strongly with you because the satellite activity was nice and promising until OSCAR-10, OSCAR-13 and AO40 lasted !
Now I pull for P3-E

Just so everyone knows, I find all of this utter ridiculous; and while I disagree with all of the folks who say "this is just a hobby" (since many of us are also commercial operators and heavily involved in ARES/RACES, etc. as certified emergency radio operators), I do believe that some civility is in order.
Rather than complain incessantly though, I'm just going to get off the birds altogether. I'm thinking of selling my FT-60R, my Elk antenna, and my digital recorder and moseying on down the bands. I really prefer HF DX and contesting anyway, but satellite was fun while it lasted...
I do hope you're all able to sort this mess out though. It's really seeming petty from the outside, and I know most of us don't like infighting like this.
Good luck! I'm out....
