Yuri, UT1FG/MM has worked many stations half-duplex and givenout a ton of rare grids. Maybe he should be educated about how "dumb"his operating technique is? ? ? ? ?

Once again I feel the need to say that we have gone in the wrong 
direction by trying to convince everyone how easy a  "sat"  is to work 
with a handheld antenna. I got into satellite communication because of 
the technical challenge involved, not by how "easy it was".
  This whole half or full duplex issue is a symptom of  "dumbing down" 
There should never be any question on it.  Full duplex should ALWAYS be 
used.
