[amsat-bb] Mode "B" over ZL, 21:45z 14/7/02

["Alan W Leech" <alanwl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What a great mode! I copied the 145.97 beacon as soon as it came over
the horizon and after only a couple of CQs on about 432.15 I heard VK5DG
in Mt Gambier replying on about 145.948. I got such a surprise I made a 
right "Pig's ear" of sorting it out. Sig's were good, 5/9 but a bit FMy.
Just 30w into a 1/2w slimjim on 432 and another 2mtr 1/2w slimjim on 
145.9 were more than sufficient. 
David, VK5DG, and I were then joined by Sonny ZL1HAU in Whangarei and as
I was starting to loose it behind the hill, I left them to it at 21:55z.

Thanks Dave and Sonny, you make it all worth while..

Cheers, 
       Alan. (ZL2VAL)
