I haven't been on many of those passes myself. I'll have to try to get on a few over the next several days.
It has been good to hear some prepping for Field Day. Unfortunately many Field Day satellite operators seem to operate satellites once a year and are sorely out of practice for Field Day (and it shows)

I'm on the X birds every morning taking to myself. At my winter home in Florida before I put some crossed Yagi's up I was making contacts on a small vertical with my TS-2000, I managed at least a contact a pass in that simple setup. I notice some more activity lately due to FD preparations, I'm working some new stations. Let's get more linear bird activity going guy's, it's easier then you think...

Of course a few LEO Linear birds like the old RS-12/13 would be nice too! I don't know how many hundreds of qsos I had on 2/10 using RS-12. RS-15 was a challenge and I think it's still there but only the
beacon is active.

I'd be happy with another AO-40 style bird that worked as advertized.
