[amsat-bb] AO-07 Popularity?

[Burns Fisher]

AO-7 also works best in a small sweet spot in its passband.  If you don't
know that it can be frustrating to hear yourself all garbled.  All that
said, I think most linears have relatively low use.  What is your
experience in Australia with the XW satellites (which work absolutely
great!)?
