Thanks for everyone's patience today. I was able to log about 20 contacts on AO-27 and SO-50. Not bad for a first day out. I used the antennas as mounted on the tower today. Tomorrow I will be on again and will play with the arrow some more.
73 all, Don N3MK FM27 -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Don Snider Sent: Friday, July 29, 2011 12:55 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Operation from FM27 tomorrow Hello all, I'm new to satellite and I'm going to try my first QSOs on AO-27 during it's daylight passes. Last weekend I listened to AO-27 on my tower mounted 432 beam but for this I'll be setting up an arrow antenna on a tripod and an ft-736r. I've had the arrow for years but never got around to actually using it for satellite. Hope to see you on AO-27 tomorrow and possibly Sunday as well if I'm successful. Oh, and if anyone wants to sell a g-550 or similar elevation rotator let me know. I'm interested. 73, Don N3MK Chincoteague Island, VA _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
