Re: [amsat-bb] AMSAT Field Day Reports are coming in!

I think it is a great idea.  We did have fun trying to use the FM birds.  My
first attempt on Saturday night with 5 watts and an Arrow antenna had 10
onlookers.  I usually am quite successful with this station and was
disappointed at the abuse by a few on these satellites.  I would be happy
with 1 QSO per bird.
