Patrick,

Thanks very much to you and the other stations who called me during the Demo!

It was a warm day, we had 34C here. We operated on the SO-50 and AO-27 passes from the sea walk of my city. The 1757z SO-50 pass was easy to work and we had several contacts on it. Despite the 1919z AO-27 pass was very crowed, we had some contacts also.

A lot of hams and satellite enthusiast attended the Demo. I answered several questions and everybody was excited listening for the satellites.

The Setup used for this satellite operation is what I regularly use when operating portable. A mobile 2m FM radio with a homebrew 70cm/2m down converter inside, with a strap around my neck. The 2m Kenwood TK-270 Handie Talkie for transmitting, a 12V 7AH battery into a backpack to power up everything , plus digital MP3 recorder to log the contacts. I hold the HT in one hand and the homebrew Arrow Antenna with a homebrew preamplifier with the other hand.

Tonight, we have another question/answer session on our local repeater. I am truly sure that a new HAMSAT era is growing in my country!

73!

Hello all!

On Sunday September 16th, I will be in a Satellite presentation for my Radio Club on behalf of the Satellite Cuban Group (GROS).

We will have in the session several hams from others Radio Club who have followed our recently Sat presentations.
