[amsat-bb] AO51-contact

[gehna <gehna@xxxxxxxx>]

Made my first contact on ECHO last night with Vu2MKP OM BOB, the satelite
was loud and suddenly used to fade, My antenna on the downlink is pointed
north and was able to rcv from back of the beam at the start and at the end
of the pass from the front of the beam of Arrow, I am yet to tune my arrow.
On the uplink I was using base with Diamond GP.

Vu2WMY heard on a rubberdulie, So did Vu2GUR monitored the downlink. Vu2GUR
was not making to the satellite because his PL tone was missing, It is
optional in HORA HT, but shows on the display even when not installed. He
will try with his Yaesu today.

We have no problem here on rush to work this bird as very less user here in
India.
