A short note to all those here who helped and advised me. I started from scratch 5 weeks ago with the goal of learning about LEO satellite communication. And after studying and listening for 4 weeks, I just recorded my first QSL through SO-50 using my 5w HT and handheld antenna. From here in NC to Missouri, through a satellite repeater is remarkable.
From my very first email to this BB, I have been graciously responded to by many of you, including very helpful members, several VP's, group leaders, and I even got to meet an AMSAT ambassador. Because of this warm welcome, I joined AMSAT.
My future goal is to assist young people to learn about satellites, ISS and STEM, starting with my 11 yr old granddaughter who tests for her license next week. Thanks to all of you for a great AMSAT organization.
