[amsat-bb] GRRRRRRRRRRR!

[Tim <Tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After over a month of trying, I finally almost made my first satellite
contact on UO-14 last night.  I had been calling and had heard myself in
the downlink when, to my shock someone called me back, unfortunatly
about 3 seconds later the satellite spun (as it normally does) so that I
was crossed polarization and by the time it came back around to where I
could talk to it, it was below my radio horizion and I lost him.


I guess this means I have to get busy and build those turnstile antenna
that I have been talking about
