Congratulations, Angel!
And thank you to the control team for recruiting operators in order to make the AO-51 operation a worldwide event.
Job well-done!

Excellent the pass received few minutes ago with my home made arrow antenna on
my vacation site by the Mediterranean shore at JN00DF in Spain. The maximum elevation was only 8 degrees but I could record the voice message and SSTV transmision comfortably up to three times meanwhile the sat passed above my deep sea blue horizon.... I was so excited that I was near to start to shout out!! Now I will try to decode the SSTV and listen carefully to the voice message for writing it down for QSL details. Congratulations and thanks to control team for this historical event. A great leap indeed 40 years ago that now we can live again.
Thanks again and good luck.
73, EA4DUT, Angel
