Amen to that.

After listening to the mess on AO-51 I pulled the switch on my satellite 
station some six months ago. Why anyone would waste money on a single 
channel FM bird is beyond me.

I have moved to a new qth and guess which part of my station was 
operational first? Not the satellite part! I do plan for the oscar antennas 
to be put up within the next two months. And I will be ready whenever we 
get another HEO up there. Plan on getting L band transmit next summer.

And it has always been my observation that activity always slows down in 
the summer.
