Hi everyone;
In considering the ts2000 I was wondering how much activity folks have found 
on uhf or vhf side band?  True it would work for satellite work but is there 
much else going on?  I understand this can vary radically from one part of 
the country to another.

As for packet, Haven't thought about it in a very long time.  Is there much 
left and what type of activity?  I think someone said a few months ago that 
it was primarily message boards in their part of the country.

Finally, has anyone tried satellite work and what type of antenna system 
have you used?  I never considered the idea much because at one time you 
essentially needed a beam and two rotators one for the direction and a 
second for the pitch or tilt of the antenna.  That was quite some time ago 
and a friend suggested that things are much easier now but didn't have any 
details.
