Hi Jim, For your information - first pass was a bit to low in view of terrain/obstructions at my QTH although I did hear my downlink. Second pass - Had a number of QSO's and satellite downlink quite strong but of course with the usual fade. Unable to monitor the on board data during these passes due to my activity in transmitting but hopefully you will have obtained some useful information during the activation from other sources. Thanks to you and the team for the activation and I hope that all goes well for future considerations. Regards Ken Eaton GW1FKY
