Re: [amsat-bb] FM Satellites: Good Operating Practices for Beginning and Experienced Operators
I think that satellite DX is very exciting. The challenge of selecting the perfect orbit to complete a long distance QSO at the extreme limits of the satellite footprint. Two station completing a QSO at less than 1 degree Elevation. Exciting!

I'll bite. As far as I can tell, there are 2 main reasons for working the satellites. Chasing grids and making contacts via space. This includes both these acts as well as the fun of overcoming the challenges of doing the same.
Maybe Zach has a third option that we haven't considered, one that is contrary to the grid hunt. Rag chews aren't really viable due to the limited resource and short time, but there could be something else.

Zach,
Do you avoid Satellites too? I've looked thru my logs and I don't have
your
call in there. I've asked a few other prolific ops and they lack a QSO
with
you as well. Just curious why the strong feelings on Item 6 if you're
not
active on the birds.

John,
I generally avoid 160 meters, as there are too many on there who
resort
to disparaging insults.
