Hi all, Thanks to the team involved, I am pleased to report successful operation of SO-67 during the trial evening pass over here in Europe today. (Saturday 8th January 2011 around 1935 hours GMT) Managed to work a number of stations in Europe using just my "ELK" antenna and about 10 watts of RF. I had good reports and could hear my own downlink quite well, but also had to remember the operating technique and the use of the tone for access. Trust that things will be now OK for the return to normal operation next week as planned. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat -UK AMSAT NA.
PS. Also note AO -51 is also operating OK in this part of the world pleased to report, with thanks also those involved with its management.
