Hi Umesh!
It was nice to hear you this morning from your event, along with Dan AC9E at his hamfest in Las Cruces NM. It is fun to hear other demonstrations on a pass. The crowd with me in Sierra Vista AZ enjoyed the demonstration. One member of my audience listened to the 145.880 MHz AO-92 downlink on his own radio with its stock duckie antenna.
73!

Many thanks to everyone with whom we were able to QSO today, I took the 10:36am pass as K6VUG, then AG6TT took the 11:55am pass and WB9YBM made the 12:11 pass. Steve (AG6TT) and Bill (WB9YBM) were new to satellites and had much fun working you guys, while all other onlookers enjoyed it. I got QSOs with AC9E and WD9EWK as planned. Thanks again.
BTW, for some reason I noticed the AO-92 was very strong with almost no fades, however AO-91 was weaker and showed many fades. I'm not sure if it was something in my setup or at the bird. In any case, no biggie given the fun everyone had today. Next stop Field Day 2019 !
