[amsat-bb] All the mobile talk

[John Price]

I had not worked any satellite mobile for a good while. All the post
about mobile operation got me to thinking. So I got the 19 inch wipe
out and connected it to the 706 mk2g and tuned the D-700 to the
uplink and away I went down the road. I waited till I heard the bird
solid before calling. Heard myself right off. Worked somebody in EL97
I believe it was. I did not have a pencil and paper and could not
have logged it while driving anyway. The Icom has a built in preamp
which I found necessary to hear the bird solid. I was using a Larsen
2/70 duel band antenna for the uplink. So I guess it still works.
That was fun.
