[Howard Kowall]

Well thanks to all that have replied
I have made some Satellite contacts on SO-50 and AO-51
I just find it seems kind of fast,the operators just speed out there call 
and grid square and I am having trouble copying it
Even when I tell the to repeat it (which I don't really want to do because 
it takes up Sat time)they still fire it off way to fast(maybe I am not as 
young as I used to be)I just want to get some experience under my belt so I 
can try the  U/L ssb Sats then maybe some of the dig Sats
I have just joined Amsat and have found allot of info there,so I felt 
joining was a good idea and also to support them .
Hope to have a qso with some of you,have to wait till it gets warmer out to 
put my antennas up,just finished building and testing my rotor 
controller,and have now got a good hang of SatPc32.I found that a rig only 
half duplex is a bit of a pain,so I am not able to hear myself on the down 
link,I will have to make arrangements with someone on calibrating the 
correct tuning with a half duplex rig on AO-7
Thanks to all who took an interest  in my email.
