Hi Pedro...

>>Worked Mike, N1JEZ. Heard N1ZKB, MM1EAT, VE2QRR and F1ORL.
I was working with a TH-D7A(g) and a 19" whip (MFJ 1717) from the balcony of 
my house.<<

What was the satellite's elevation and pass duration for those contacts?  
I've made many UO-14 contacts with my Alinco 5 watt HT and 19" whip, but 
nearly all on overhead passes.  Best "DX" has been been Egan, VE6EGN, on 
UO-14 and AO-27.

BTW, Mike gave me my first ever satellite contact last November using SO-35.

The maximum elevation was 3 degrees and the duration was 7 minutes (according with STSPLUS program). Yesterday in the 23:48 UTC pass, I worked VE2QRR, N1ZKB and W1OC with the same rig. The pass was 5 degrees and 8 minutes from my location (IM78CX southwest of Spain).
73 and DX
