James, I don't take exception with anything you have said. I would rather operate linear SATs anyhow. What bothered me about FD and generally any day, very few if any of them are worked using CW. CW is easier to copy and I think SAT exchanges during FD or otherwise would be faster and more efficient.

If I could wish for one thing, that would be it, everyone try making CW contacts via SAT!
