Paul,
Thanks for the nice report on your activity at the hamfest on Sunday. I was happy to get up a little early to work you on that FO-29 pass, and you sounded good through the satellite. And a thanks to Steve for leading the forum. Sounds like you two had a great day!
73!

Good afternoon,
The demonstrations at the Vienna Wireless Winterfest were quite a success. We made two QSOs on the 1230Z pass of VO-52 and an outstanding 11 QSOs on the 1347Z pass of FO-29.

Following the demonstration, Steve, KS1G, presented a great introduction to AMSAT and satellite operating in a classroom forum with about 20 hams in attendance.
After the forum, we went back outside to capture some telemetry from FUNcube-1 as it passed over at about 1530Z and captured 25 frames with Steve's FUNcube Dongle, Elk antenna, and a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet. Only 25 frames were captured because it was the first time I had used the FUNcube Dongle and the Dashboard is not quite designed for touchscreen input! We were able to show the realtime and whole orbit data collected and read several fitter messages.
