Thank you Bill for pointing out on Greencube current status! Yeah now amsat status page also reflects the QRV reports from users. I am getting prepared to work this beautiful bird with my 14ele yagi & IC-705 in portable fashion. I still want to know how many members are successfully working IO-117 with Icom IC-705 (10W)? 
Thank you
