Eric, Congratulations! It is indeed amazing. A suggestion is to use a cheap digital recorder for recording your contacts. You can replay the QSOs later, verify calls, and log them. I use a "Y cord" to the earpiece and recorder, but some recorders will pass the audio through. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Eric Knaps, ON4HF Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 1:50 PM To: Amsat - BBS Subject: [amsat-bb] My first portable sat qso made today. Hello all, Today I made my first portable satellite qso in my backyard via SO-50. I bought an arrow antenna from www.vpa-systems.pl and connected a portable to it. I didn't know it was that easy! I worked EA7HZZ and a German station (forgot his call because I was to excited) What a nice hobby we have! 73, Eric.
