Hello all. I just wanted to publicly express my gratitude for the prompt, numerous, and courteous responses to my AO-7 question. I am grateful. I also would like to note that in almost 20 years of being a ham, I have never found a friendlier group...so willing to help and answer questions...however small. Also, no one "tore me apart" when I mentioned that my main rig for satellites, contesting, etc...is an FT-817.

(Like I told Rich N2SPI)...Bitten by the satellite bug,
