Thanks for everyone's patience today. I was able to log about 20 contacts on AO-27 and SO-50. Not bad for a first day out. I used the antennas as mounted on the tower today. Tomorrow I will be on again and will play with the arrow some more.
73 all, Don N3MK FM27

Hello all, I'm new to satellite and I'm going to try my first QSOs on AO-27 during it's daylight passes. Last weekend I listened to AO-27 on my tower mounted 432 beam but for this I'll be setting up an arrow antenna on a tripod and an ft-736r. I've had the arrow for years but never got around to actually using it for satellite.
Hope to see you on AO-27 tomorrow and possibly Sunday as well if I'm successful.
Oh, and if anyone wants to sell a g-550 or similar elevation rotator let me know. I'm interested.
73, Don N3MK Chincoteague Island, VA
