I made my first and second satellite contact via SO-50 at approximately 1639UTC 2008-03-22!
My first contact was with Leo, W7JPI; followed by Jerome, W0SAT. My thanks to both for the contacts. I was in my vehicle, parked in the driveway, operating my Icom IC2720H with a 19" whip magmount antenna with 15 watts power.
I now have some more questions:
When operating from a vehicle, when is it proper to indicate "mobile"? At any time or only when actually in motion?
Also, with regard to QSL cards, what is the proper protocol? Should I send them first? How accurate do I need to be on the time of contact?
Thanks,
Kent K5KNT
