As for antenna waving versus HF portable, I've had plenty of attention from boy scouts in past sat demos as well as random kids and their parents in a park once when I did an ISS SSTV demo.

In my humble opinion, image capabilities in general will be a nice addition, but the new bird all by itself won’t be any more accessible to students than any of the existing birds available today. To help the hobby, we need to be developing and publishing projects/lesson plans that teachers can use as a foundation for activities for a school club at various grade levels.

When I setup and run portable, I have all people young and old asking about what I am doing because it “looks cool”. Standing around with a pair of headphones on waiving an antenna around is not that appealing to anyone

• its difficult and tiring.
