Using the old method one learns how it all works..trial, error and experiment. 
This to me is the real ham radio experience.  I remember all that stuff from my 
SWl days and ham radio for almost 60 years now.  I am still doing it that way with 
EME on 23cm.

Now the new way they know nothing...soon there will be an app (if there isn't 
already) to work the sats with a dongle and the portable device...but the user 
will know nothing.

With all the conversation lately on here lately it appears most tend to be an 
appliance operator and it should be like a local repeater.

I guess my age is showing but I remember the bit about the ham who did eveything 
AUTO in their shack...including the card...but was never home.

Sorry to vent here but I miss the old days of trial,error and experiment to learn.
