Hello Steve,
Welcome to the small world of ham satellite users!
I worked a lot on the ssb transponders for the past 3 years. Last week
I've build myself an arrow antenna and work alot on the fm birds now.

Congratulations Steve, W5IEM, on your first satellite contact. I will
never forget my first one. It was more exciting than my first novice
contact when I was 11 years old! You will soon find out just how
addictive satellites can be. Welcome aboard!
I would like to pass on my Thank You to
Congratulations!
Welcome to the world of amateur radio satellites. Ham radio will never be
the same :-)

Steve,
I want to give a huge Thank You to all of the guys at the Dayton
Hamvention for the information they shared at the AMSAT booth and the
demonstrations. After a few unsuccessful tries I made my first QSO on SO-50
about 10 minutes ago. I only made one contact tonight, that being KC9TTR in
Steve,
Congratulations! I still remember my first Sat QSO as if it were yesterday.
The thrill of hearing my downlink and then the response from W6AJP was one
of the highlights of my time as a ham.
Now be sure to apply for the Satellite Communicators Award. Details are the
AMSAT web page.
