Thanks for the kind words, Pete. I don't consider myself accomplished - just too ignorant to know I shouldn't try things! HiHi.
Will - I live in EM84, and so does Art, K4YYL, who is active3 on the satellites. Art lives on the South Carolina side of the grid. I haven't been very active on the FM satellites recently, which is why you haven't heard me.
There are only a handful of operators in the state who ever get on the satellites. Your activity is welcome, and I can assure you that a lot of folks will appreciate it.
73, and good luck!

Will,
Welcome to the exciting and friendly world of amateur satellites, it's an excellent idea to go portable and operate! It doesn't matter how popular a grid may be, what's important is experimenting with your setup and enjoying yourself.
One of our most accomplished satellite operators is Tim, N3TL, from Athens Georgia, have fun and pass on what you have learned.
