[amsat-bb] Re: Who says the amateur satellite hobby is dying?

[Paolo Mattiolo]

Hello Paul,

last week I've started my satellite activity, at the moment I've done 9
contacts on SO-50 and FO-29.
Yesterday evening I've tried to work VO-52, I was able to hear me back, but
I've only 5 watts on the uplink.

This is my station on the balcony:

So I confirm our hobby is not dying, I'm another Ham in space.
