This morning I heard a fun QSO on AO-92. It was AE0BB's first satellite contact with K9EI.
A couple of things I want to point out:
1. Even though there were multiple users on the bird, everyone patiently stood by to allow the contact to go through. Normally timing is very fast on FM birds. This was a nice break!
2. Michael K9EI was patient and courteous with the new operator. It was a great model of how to welcome and encourage others.
Here's a short recording of the QSO:

Clayton.... Thanks for sharing with the multitude so the great example can be a lesson for all. There are quite a few operators now using the SATs that were newbies at one time and have turned out to be fine seasoned and experienced users. I could post an impressive list of them, but I'd be afraid to leave some folks out. 73, Bob K8BL ________________________________ From: Clayton Coleman W5PFG [email protected] To: AMSAT-BB [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2018 1:53 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] 1st satellite QSO

Very nice to hear that!
I know it was awesome to have those helpful hams on the other end of my early QSO attempts! Even more so when I attempt the linear birds!
