Hi Clint!

Thank you, Patrick, for helping me show off AO-51 last night!

Glad to have been a part of it. Hopefully that radio you just picked up worked well for you. I was fighting a pass where AO-51 was just above the mountains to my west, so I apologize for not picking you up when you first called. Thanks to John N7JK for mentioning during the early part of the pass that you were calling me.

It's one thing to give a 45-minute presentation on the topic...but to then tell the assembled group, "Let's step outside and see what happens" makes it all come alive.

Very true! The demonstration can go a long way in breaking down some of the myths of satellite operating.

73!
