Just worked Bill, VK3JT via UO-14.  Lousy pass (10 deg in the east, on the poor
side of my QTH), but could hear it 4x1.  Will be trying again on the next pass
(around 00:00 local).

Equipment:

Uplink Alinco DJ500T, running 1.8W into a 2m 5/8.
Downlink  Icom IC-T81A with a 1/2 wave handheld whip.

Looking forward to more UO-14 contacts!

Tony
