[amsat-bb] SO-67 Successful operation in Europe

[GW1FKY@aol.com]

Hi all,
Thanks to the team involved, I am pleased to report successful operation of 
 SO-67 during the trial evening
pass over here in Europe today. (Saturday 8th January 2011 around 1935  
hours GMT)
Managed to work a number of stations in Europe using just my "ELK" antenna  
and about 10 watts of RF.
I had good reports and could hear my own downlink quite well, but also had  
to remember the operating
technique and the use of the tone for access.
Trust that things will be now OK for the return to normal operation next  
week as planned.

 to report, with thanks also those
      involved with its management.
