I was using my two FT-817NDs on battery power, 5W\ntransmit power into my Elk Antennas handheld log periodic.  The antenna\nwas connected to the radios through a W6ZQ-modified MFJ duplexer, almost\nidentical to your Diamond duplexer.  Ron - it works great!  Instead of a\nstraight key, I had a Palm Radio Mini-Paddle on its magnetic base sitting on\ntop of my transmit radio.\n\nI'm currently northeast of Phoenix, staying in grid DM43iu for the weekend.\nThere are mountains around here, but they did not bother AO-7 during this\npass.  I worked VO-52 this morning and AO-27 in the afternoon, before it\nwas time for AO-7.\n\n> Patrick was a solid 579 when he called me, and he worked AJ9K after our\n> contact. And unlike me, I believe he is still manually tuning for Doppler.\n\nYes, still tuning by hand, and trying to conform to the One True Rule in\ntuning the higher of the two frequencies whenever possible.  I still want\nto get computer control for the radios working via SatPC32, but I did not\nwant to miss a chance to try AO-7 in mode B tonight.\n\n> I believe these are Patrick's first contacts on Grand Old AO-7.\n> Congratulations to him. Here's to many more contacts with our \"flea\n> power\" portable stations.\n\nThese were my first two QSOs on AO-7.  I tried AO-7 last summer, using\nmy dual-band Yagi instead of the log periodic, and could only hear myself\nin CW on passes where AO-7 was above 50 degrees or so elevation.  When\nAO-7 was around 10-15 degrees elevation tonight, I could hear CW when\nmy log periodic was leaning against the side of my truck!  And no preamp!!\n\nThanks to Tim and Dan AJ9K for my first two AO-7 QSOs, and my\napologies for what were probably quick QSOs on my end.  I was hoping\nto get them in before the satellite went away from me, and not do too\nbad on the CW.  SSB will probably need higher passes for my 5W\nportable station, and possibly a preamp, but I can deal with CW.  :-)\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - currently in Tonto Basin AZ\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
