Hello Domenico,
I know what you mean :-)
I have allways worked with big antennas and now I did it with a yagi
that you can hold in your hand.
The portable gives 2 watts of rf power and I was surprised that my
signal was so clear to copy.
I will be in Italy on holiday from june 11 till 23 and hope to make some
sat contacts with it.
73,
Eric.

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.
