[amsat-bb] First Contact

2011-04-13 Thread Clint Bradford 
 ... I am so excited right now that I can barely type because I'm dancing a 
 jig.

Uh, dude, you've caught it ... and it is quite contagious ... with few known 
cures:

Satellite-itis.

I've tred everything to cure myself of this. Modern meds - legal and, er, 
otherwise. Pina Coladas. Using VistaPrint to make AMSAT banners and 
informational post cards. Staying up for 48 hours preparing for a party and 
trying to work ARISSat-1 ... NOTHING has cured me of this malady.

Every once in a while, my wife will hear me exclaim from the back yard, I just 
talked to Vancouver! I am sure she thinks I am nuts, and wonders why I just 
don't use the cell phone ...

 ... recording the passes ...

What is your setup? A direct connection to your audio, or a smartphone voice 
recorder app, or ??? ?

 so I have an audio recording of my first AO-51 QSO.

 ... A big thanks to K6LCS (Clint) and his web site ... for all the tips and 
 inspiration to give satellites a try.

I am to old to get this affected ... thanks!

Clint, K6LCS

Scott and the first contact.

Congrats Scott..you'll be making many more...

Made my first one in July of 1980 on O7, and made several more on O7 
when she came back a few years ago!!

Not sure if you were the one that asked about homebrew equipment, but 
here is a site with a lot of the junk I've cobbled together to make 
operating a little more convenient.

I've been licensed for over 60 years, but have done nothing else but 
hamsats for the last 30

Will be glad to answer questions on any of it, if I can help...
