[amsat-bb] Re: My first portable sat qso made today.

[Eric Knaps, ON4HF]

Hello Domenico,

I know what you mean :-)
I have allways worked with big antennas and now I did it with a yagi 
that you can hold in your hand.
The portable gives 2 watts of rf power and I was surprised that my 
signal was so clear to copy.
I will be in Italy on holiday from june 11 till 23 and hope to make some 
sat contacts with it.

73,
Eric.
