What a blast! Had to reduce power and reduce the volume the downlink was so strong!

Thanks to AA5PK, N8MH & WØPD for the contacts!

See you next time round :-D

Hi Mark,

I can confirm that this AO51 mode works extremely well - trouble is that this side of the water there is Zero activity. It is very sensitive and has great audio but on the 1833UTC pass I became very bored with the sound of my own voice. Lets hope more stations join in on subsequent passes:)
