<More arm chair operators should attempt to make QSO's in the field. They might get an idea of what manual everything entails.> What I see is ops sitting in front of their SDR computer screen, and criticizing someone who is out in a field, holding an Arrow in one hand and an HT in the other, and combating fading, because they missed something in a call, or did something that they don't like. I only work satellite portable and don't know the luxury of working from a temperature controlled room with computer screens, rotating and elevating antenna, pen and paper, etc. But we handheld ops are still giving them the grids.
