Hi,
I had my first go through Hamsat last night and at only 6 degrees elevation
made a QSO on first call! Satellite sounded great. Up to 30W to 3x5/8
vertical for uplink (about 5W max at antenna) and 4 ele yagi for downlink.
Later passes were not so good with some operators running far too much
power and the downlink signal was "fm'ing". I think people are forgetting
the golden rule of keeping their signal level at the beacon level or less!
It's good to have an Mode B sat again and I'm looking forward to many more
QSO's
Great work and well done.
Best Regards,
Bill, GM0ICF.

PD5DJ calling CQ through HAMSAT at 20:58 UTC clearly heard from the island
of Jersey (IN89we).
Equipment: FT-817 and Arrow 2m/70cm handheld antenna.
If I get a bit more organised, I might even be able to repond next time!

Thanks so much for your bird. It's is a pleasure to operate. My group will probably use it for the ARRL Field Day Test.
Thanks again, you are the best!

Hello again,
I have been on business trip to VK2 and tried
operation via HamSat in stationary mobile situation.
I had a Diamond HV7 mobile antenna mounted on
magnetic base on top of the car.
For full duplex I brought with me FT817 and
IC706, plus 70cm amplifier (probably around 40 watts out from antenna).
I managed only one QSO with VK1ZQR, some 1200 km
away (late hour passes=low activity), but I was also heard by VK6IQ, some
3000 km away.
I could hear myself on downlink on every pass I
have tried.
Great portable experience.
I encourage all to try this satellite during
Field Day or any portable situation.
Until today I managed some 40 QSO's via HamSat
and continue trying for more.
73 to all
