Hi!

Today I was able to hear the 1011UTC pass over europe of Hamsat. Equipment I
used was a vertical omnidirectional antenna mounted on the roof of my car.
The receiver was a IC-R10 hand held scanner. I heared many stations, the
most between 144,880 and 145,920 in SSB. When the pass was at maximum
elevation about 60 degrees and the sat was in a range of about 700kms, I
tried to key my hand held 70cm TRX with 1 Watt into a rubberduck antenna,
and was able to find a poor signal on the downlink, so maybe a cw qso would
have been possible with this setup.

So let me say, thanks a lot for that great bird, will work it soon.

Our thanks and congrats to Amsat-India !!  Well done !  Nice & easy to work
satellite.

Signals loud , 59+ on the pass, but looks like is time to give it a break to
recharge batteries ? ,  sat was "FMing" on this pass even if using a few
watts. Made a QSO with HK4MKE and also with YV5KXE.

Can work a few degrees in the horizont lower than the AO51 wich is really
great.

 Any on USA with the same report ?

Hello!

I monitored two passes today:
~1650 UTC - hrd MANY North American stations and worked K5WH, N5UXT and
K5MAN 45 deg max el.
~1823 UTC - Worked N5UXT and hrd others 10 deg max el.

EXCELLENT quality signals but did notice some fading probably caused by
satellite orientation, and/or tumbling.

More passes later this evening!!
