[amsat-bb] Re: ISS V/U active and loud

[David - KG4ZLB/MØZLB <m0zlb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Really loud and strong signal even at 17 degree maximum for me - great 
to work Bill (NZ5N).

I would like to also publicly thank Erich for his fantastic help in 
getting my copy of SatPC32 ready for this mode and addition of PL tone - 
I didn't have to do anything except talk!

Thanks Erich!
