Yep Mode A was fun .... that's where a lot of us got our start .... back
then more folks had HF rigs and 2M SSB rigs were easier to come by (even
for a poor college student like me) .... now I think the landscape has
changed a bit .... VHF/UHF radios are in much shorter supply and I don't
think HF rigs are as commonly owned either (my opinion I could be wrong)
I'm still in shock that SAREX 1 was 30 years ago .... DAM I don't feel THAT
OLD.
I'm sooo looking forward to the new linear transponder birds .....

Whenever I've talked about Mode A at the AMSAT Booth
at the Dayton Hamvention, all I've ever gotten was rolled eyes
and/or total lack of interest. They seem to like orbiting FM
Repeaters and modes/frequencies that few people are equipped
for. With the old RS Mode A Birds, you could do pretty well
with a 10M GP and a Ringo Ranger.
?
IMHO......?? 73,?? Bob K8BL?? (AMSAT since 1979)

I loved the RS satellites. They're what got me hooked.? I wish
the plan for the next LEO was a new linear mode Mode A bird for
a starter satellite not another FM 'Grid-Lock' sat.

It'll be a cold day in you-know-where when I ever use
a non-Ham-Radio means to check into a Ham Net!!

Why do you have check-ins?
Is there some kind of participation credit?
