Congratulations, Don - and welcome to orbit!
Here, the excitement hasn't gotten old after almost two years. Working the satellites is the most fun and satisfying thing I've ever done in amateur radio. I wish you all the best as you continue working passes and making lots more contacts.
73 and God Bless,
Tim - N3TL

It is quite a learning curve but if you can hang in long enough you can do it.
The bug has now put a big bite on me
