[amsat-bb] 5 years of IO-86 satellite

Today is the celebration of 5 years of flawless operation of IO-86 satellite. This satellite has performed in at least 3 emergency communications from disaster area in Indonesia, and has been a breeding ground for close to 100 new Indonesian amsat operators.

Yesterday we’ve concluded a 3-day event to celebrate this huge milestone thru a VR and APRS qso party.

Please remember this satellite was designed for portable (HT with handheld yagi / elk antenna) ops, so please refrain of using high power in accessing IO-86.
