When I was first getting my AO-40 receiver working I remember having my dish propped up on a lawn chair in the driveway, holding the feed and down-converter in place and at the same time trying to tune my FT-847. It was looking like another evening of failure when suddenly, very clearly, I heard Domenico signing I8CVS. Later I had the chance to visit with him on AO-40 and thank him for being on the satellite.
Domenico was a true gentleman and a great help to many others, including myself. His comments on any topic were always worth reading and considering. He will be missed by the entire amateur satellite community.
My sincerest condolences to his Family.
