Wow, I am taken aback by the magnitude of anger and animosity on the lists. When did a hobby supposed to foster friendly, "amateur" communication become such a serious topic in people lives? I personally disagree with this viewpoint, but it's not important to me that I am willing to insult someone over it... I can state my objection and why without an insult
Now health care reform, finance reform, the economy, now these are topics that make me angry... but this IS ham radio, so I can't vent about these topics.... michael -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Gordon JC Pearce Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 3:33 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Lets move forward On Sun, 4 Dec 2011 18:07:03 -0500 Doug Dietz <dcdi...@chartermi.net> wrote: > I believe that the demise of ao-51 is a good thin for the forward movement of satellite communication and would vote for no more fm birds Any particular reason? I tried the SSB sats, but they just plain weren't fun to operate. I suppose if you want to humph around expensive, fragile transceivers that require four hands to operate and still sound like an angry duck in a tin outhouse, SSB has something going for it. Leave SSB to the gallbladder brigade on 80m. -- Gordon JC Pearce MM0YEQ <gordon...@gjcp.net> _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
