Yep, just goes to show you how a highly skilled operatorlike Yuri can have great success using half-duplex whennecessary. Bob K8BL (AMSAT #6593) From: Jim Jerzycke kq6ea@verizon.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Saturday, July 4, 2015 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Fox, "Easy Sats"....et al....
Yuri is an experienced operator, not somebody with an HT and an Arrow/Elk standing in their backyard waving the antenna around and saying "Helllllooooooo" into the radio for the entire pass.

Yuri, UT1FG/MM has worked many stations half-duplex and givenout a ton of rare grids. Maybe he should be educated about how "dumb"his operating technique is? ? ? ? ?

Once again I feel the need to say that we have gone in the wrong direction by trying to convince everyone how easy a "sat" is to work with a handheld antenna. I got into satellite communication because of the technical challenge involved, not by how "easy it was". This whole half or full duplex issue is a symptom of "dumbing down" There should never be any question on it. Full duplex should ALWAYS be used. 73, Michael, W4HIJ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
