Digipeated through the ISS, QSOs on SO-50, and downloaded telemetry from AO-73 all before noon today. It's been a good amateur radio satellite day.
Update for those who were part of a past thread: I put up an M2 Eggbeater on top of my house. It works better for me on the ISS and AO-73 than did my 5/8 wave vertical. Basically, it's doing what I hoped it would do. (SO-50 is still a backyard with the Arrow antenna adventure.) Someday in the future I will likely go full bore and get myself a rotor, etc., but, for now, I'm a happy camper.
