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.

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
Indiana, but I know that the first one is the hardest.
I am thrilled right now, and I know that learning what I learned in Dayton
put me ahead many, many hours.
Thanks again,
