Hello all,
Today I made my first portable satellite qso in my backyard via SO-50. I bought an arrow antenna from www.vpa-systems.pl and connected a portable to it. I didn't know it was that easy! I worked EA7HZZ and a German station (forgot his call because I was to excited) What a nice hobby we have!
