Hello Paul,
last week I've started my satellite activity, at the moment I've done 9 contacts on SO-50 and FO-29. Yesterday evening I've tried to work VO-52, I was able to hear me back, but I've only 5 watts on the uplink.
This is my station on the balcony:

So I confirm our hobby is not dying, I'm another Ham in space.

I was one ham's first satellite contact two nights ago on FO-29 and I was almost a ham's first satellite contact this evening on VO-52. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it done. Plus, I haven't been on the birds for very long myself.
