[amsat-bb] AO-51 Comments- 10yo YL AO-51 contact

["Aruni" <ve4wmk@xxxxxxx>]

Hi to the BB...

My  name is Aruni Perera VE4WMK and I am10 years old,

On my third attempt to make a contact on AO-51. Orbit number was 433. On
July 30 at 17:39 UTC, I pointed my Arrow antenna towards the AOS azimuth of
10 degrees from my location. The bird was not more than 20 degrees over my
horizon. I heard Egon VE6EGN was calling two stations. I couldn't hear
anybody calling him back. After his second call I decided to give him a
call. He came back to me with strong fully quieting signal to my Icom IC
W32A hand held. I was so excited. We completed our QSO without any
interference. After the QSO he even had few words with me since I couldn't
complete my AO-51 QSO with him on the previous night due to QRM.

I am ten year old full licenced YL looking forward to make many more
contcts on AO-51.

Congratulations Echo team! You did a great job. Good luck with your next
project.

Aruni Perera VE4WMK
