    Hi Ed, tnx for the Comment and I’m glad you enjoyed it.

    ED, TNX, watching your videos helped inspire me to get into satellite mode! I wrote a comment on my web blog about your videos. (My site is linked to my channel page.)

    Will be very happy to work you on SO-50, AO-27 or AO-51 and even better if I get to video the QSO 😉

    Hi Steve,

    It was great working you via the SATS we really enjoyed it, it was a good night!

    Phil knows how to cause a pile up and certainly worked a lot of stations on his first time operating SATS! watch out for him when he gets his SAT Station up and running.

    I will be listening out for that smooth sounding DL Station during the week after work. Till then, Si Thee.

    73 and Tnx

    Tnx, Randy.

    It was watching yourself in action that enthused me to buy an Arrow antenna and have a go myself 😉

    Simon, Phil, thanks for the great entertainment, had a few laughs with the calls being mixed up but you did very well.

    As i have never done any satelite yet i expect i would get all mudled up with the excitement, but you made some great contacts.

    Hopefully sometime in the near future ill be able to invest in some sat equipment.

    Atleast these youtube vids will tide me over for a while.

    Hi Steve, Congrats on your new Call sign MM0.

    Glad it made you chuckle 😉 it makes a change from the serious side of HAM Radio.

    At least I am not the only nutter on the bands, Phil is in a respectable 2cnd place. h.i

    Phil has his own set up now so if you get some kit you may get to work us both!

    73 and thanks for the subscription!
