Hi Steve,

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for the bug that just bit you.  You 
will have to put up with the side effects for the rest of your life. ;-)

Congrats!

I am so excited right now that I can barely type because I'm dancing a jig.

AO-51 was working fine for the 2158Z, 4-13-2011 pass over my QTH (EM95md) 
during
which I made my FIRST successful satellite QSO ever with K8YSE. Thank You
K8YSE!!

My apologies to K8YSE for getting a bit tongue-tied but I was so excited to 
hear
him repeat my call sign back and ask for the QSL that I about swallowed the
microphone :-)
What makes it even better was the fact that I make it a point of recording 
the
passes so I have an audio recording of my first AO-51 QSO.

A big thanks to K6LCS (Clint) and his web
site http://web.me.com/clintbradford/k6lcs/Home.html for all the tips and
inspiration to give satellites a try.



WooHoo!!!!!!


73,
