Looks like I stirred up a hornet's nest here, and I apologize for that.
I do not mean to condemn Cubesats.. as someone else said I tend to
generalize and say Cubesat when I mean EasySat. I guess I miss the days
of the Molniya orbit birds when you didn't have to do much for antenna
pointing for quite a while and could enjoy unhurried, casual QSOs night
after night...
I support AMSAT and will continue to do so no matter what..

And I thought CubeSat was just a platform. Why condemn it to one mode/variety?
We have all kinds of CubeSats -- Beep Beeps, FM repeaters, Photo bugs,
Linear transponders, AX.25 beep-beepers, science fair projects.
Sounds a lot like the ham community -- diverse.

I think most American hams associate "cube sat" with "easy sat", which
equals an FM satellite, like AO-51.
