To the Folks at M2 Antenna Systems and the AMSAT Hierarchy.
I ordered a Leo Pack from the AMSAT Booth,(Thank You for the Support), while at the Dayton / Xenia Ham Fest.
It show up, at my home, about 2 weeks later.
I built the array, in about 6 hours or so, the antennas went together really well.
Then took another 8 hours or so to get my Field Day setup built, in the garage, Rotators and tripod.
With a Comet Analyzer I swept each antenna assembly and found the to be exactly where they needed to be for LEO work.
A week later I set everything up for field day. (Pix attached).
I wanted to let you and everyone else know just how impressive this system is.
It was either an AO-91 or an AO-92 pass over the western side of California, about between 2 and 3:30 am I was able to hit the satellite, make a contact actually 2; 1 in CA another in AZ, from the airport located Elkhart Indiana.
The elevation on the shown on the AZ controller(LVB Tracker) reflected 10 to 14 degrees and the airport is about elevation is about 780' asl. This was my first Field Day and my First, actual satellite operation. I have been an Enthusiast, since I rejoined the amateur radio community, and have had no real contacts, until Field Day.
I can now refer to myself as an real satellite operator, Yeah!
I appreciate the M2 folks support of the AMSAT group, and I appreciate the AMSAT folks in their efforts to keep Amateur Radio in Space alive.
All the Best! KD9ERA
