This is exactly how I look at them-they are like a DX piluep. That sort of behavior occurs all of the time on HF, and you learn how to more effectively get through. There is very little way to change how operating is going to take place on a single channel FM satellite. That is what makes it challenging. If you got through all of the time, the challenge aspect would be gone, as would some of the excitement and fun.
