It probably\nshows.\nMy rig is qty 2 Baofengs @ 5w with a WA5VJB home-made antenna.\n\nBest luck.\n\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/14YSF3hL6NBtRMkcw3gDcx8VURQ3dBUNl/view?usp=drivesdk\n\n\nOn Thursday, March 19, 2020, Mike Wilhelm via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> I've been collecting equipment and waiting for the right time to try and\n> get on a bird.
