[amsat-bb] AO-51 - After the Change

[Clint Bradford]

I thought I read we were supposed to experience degraded performance  
from AO-51 since last week's re-orientation of the bird.

I just worked the 5:04PM Pacific Standard Time / 01:04 GMT pass from  
DM03. Worked three countries along the West Coast, in addition to  
working Texas to the East. Elaborate station equipment involved ...

-handheld radio at 2.0W
-handheld dual-band Yagi

Performance seems just fine out here, folks!
