The best part is "...my linear sats...". What an asshat.

Don, Be careful about making suggestions about increasing activity on the Linear SATs! You may get personally ATTACKED in direct e-mails like I did. There are people out there that hate Gridders and feel the Linear SATs are to be held aside so they can have them to themselves for having chats with each other day after day. I won't reveal the gentleman's ID, but you can read excerpts of some of the e-mails that came to me directly for merely suggesting something to increase activity on his private Linear SATs. Or, save your blood pressure and skip his comments below. (So much hate!) 73, Bob K8BL

I don’t care what other hams do. Each have their own preferences,.. What I don’t like is someone coming up with a great “idea” to get more activity on what is now an enjoyable aspect of the hobby that I enjoy. I have to put up with nonsense contests every weekend on HF but I can go to WARC bands to get away from it. Don’t be looking to crap up my linear sats and turn them into the mess that’s on the FM sats. Its disgraceful what goes on there. Honestly I don’t think it will come to that since people have to use more that a pair of $25 boufangs and an arrow to get on linear sats.
