... What FM satellite really working with your HT have you presented to the audience ? HI....HI !
There are now two topics in my life that I hold dear and serious - (1) is not desiring nine cars full of armed law enforcement personnel to EVER be behind a fellow ham's car during a simple infraction traffic stop ever again in California, and (2) the statuses of the wonderful FM birds that we enjoy on a daily basis.
SO - My immediate reply is, "I have successfully worked AO-27, SO-50, and AO-51 SCORES of times in front of audiences at a Watt or two - LIVE and without failure - what's the problem?"
(In all honesty - I did "fail" to work '50 in front of HRO San Diego one morning. I calculated the pass incorrectly. BUT we later worked AO-51 successfully ... )
So 'cuse me if I feel a little defensive of my Personal Number 2 this morning. I have been handling calls regarding Number 1 all morning ...
