[amsat-bb] idle comments - Idle SATs

[skristof at etczone.com]

At least part of the problem is that all-mode VHF/UHF equipment is
expensive. The FM satellites are busy because you can work them with an
HT. The linear birds are empty because you need to spend a month's (or
more) wages to get on.

Its not too many satellites,  not enough ops!

Hello from Seattle

I read the bb almost thoroughly throughout the day.  A small common
denominator is subtly appearing.  I read, "I was on the bird all alone",
 or something like, "no one to talk to".
