Good evening everyone!
I wanted to share my excitement with all of you!
After three months and 8 days operating the FM satellites, I have received
confirmation of my 100th grid from KG5CCI. I have submitted my application
with hopes of receiving my VUCC award in the near future.
Even though I was licensed 23 years ago, I have never had so much fun.
Knowing that I'm talking through a flying repeater hundred of miles away,
fascinates me.
98% percent of my confirmed grids were worked on SO-50. Two unique grids
worked on AO-85. This, using a 4 watts handheld, an Arrow antenna and some
luck.
Confirming one hundred grids will sound minuscule to some, but thinking
that I was trying to hear a ham radio satellite on a rubber ducky some
months ago, is something I feel very proud of.
I would like to thank all the operators I have worked during this time. A
special thank you to N6UA, WD9EWK, W5PFG, KC5CCI, N8HM, KA4H, KO4MA and
KI4RO for all the support, the advice, the grids and above everything else
for the patience.
To AMSAT-NA my best wishes and support!
Take care everyone and catch you on the birds!

Oops. Read it as IC-7000 versus IC-7100. Wine will do that to you :-)

The IC-7000 is one of the Radio Setup menu picks, so I assume the answer is yes. I've never tried to control my IC-700 with
SatPC32, however.

Just pointing out that today is the 130th birthday of Hidetsugu Yagi,
co-inventor of the Yagi-Uda antenna. 2016 is the 90th anniversary of the
antenna's patent being granted, a technology which revolutionized radio
communication and played a large part in making our endeavors as amateur
radio operators more global in scope. It's also one of the main reasons
we're all able to work satellites.
Google Japan (http://www.google.co.jp/) has made it today's Google
doodle:

For some reason I felt very excited about this, as if we all got on the
news :)
