Steve, People like you are the reason that Drew KO4MA and I dropped what we were doing/ran home from work early today to turn AO-51 back on.

Hope to catch you in the log. 73, Mark N8MH At 02:29 PM 4/13/2011 -0700, Stephen Davis wrote: >I am so excited right now that I can barely type because I'm dancing a jig. > >AO-51 was working fine for the 2158Z, 4-13-2011 pass over my QTH (EM95md) >during >which I made my FIRST successful satellite QSO ever with K8YSE.
