I for one am glad that there are doers (like Ruth, WD9EWK, AK4WK, KX9X and many others I know) willing to go out and do demos like this.
The non-doers can stay home and make disparaging comments on the internet if they like, that's not going to help one person become interested in this hobby. However one enthusiastic operator demoing at a radio club meeting just might.

You know Ruth
I read your email and I said to myself how many radio clubs and meetings have I spent trying to get others motivated to participate
I have not yet had any one go that extra mile
People I find are lazy and seem interested when they are not
I have come to the conclusion that there will no those people that do and there are those people that don't
I don't waste my time with the non doers
Why should it take some else to get another motivated

Hi all,
I will be giving a satellite workshop this Saturday August 26th for the Amateur Radio Club of Columbia County in Georgia. I am looking forward to helping some more hams get on the birds! We will be on a few passes throughout the day from EM83, so I’d appreciate if you’d be listening for me and other operators on the FM birds. I’ll be demoing 12:31z SO-50 pass under my own callsign and then plan to help other operators get on the 17:59z AO-85 pass.
All QSOs made under my callsign will be uploaded to LOTW.
