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. 73 & see you on the birds!

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.
