[amsat-bb] RE NO-44 "worked" with HT and Elk

HI

This is for Wayne, W9AE

I apologize if I was a bit vague, but I was dancing around my living room and quite excited.

I "worked" NO-44 by digipeating packet data to the satellite and got a confirmation on the sat board that it heard me. I can't seem to get a solid ack back from it so I did not send a message to another user. However, I saw that somebody sent me a message but it didn't come through...my radio never heard it. I am only working 5 watts with an HT.

I hope this clears things up a bit. I'm new at this myself so that was my first NO-44 contact. Still dancing around and have made two more contacts since then.
