OT: Satellite operation

[Ken G Kopp]

One of those "Been there, done that" situations ...

Satellite operation can get very boring very quickly.  They are very
predictable and you're likely to work everyone else in a short time.

DX?  They're usually only a relative few miles away.  Have even worked as a
mobile ... Ho Hum

FWIW ....
