I've worked every ham satellite that has been launched since I got on Oscar 7, cw, most of my gear at that time home brew in 1980.
For the life of me I cannot see any difference in pushing a button on an FM bird than operating a cell phone, except that it is a 2 user operation and the time available is limited...
Waste of good AMSAT funds......skill level 1, on a 1 to 10 basis...
