[amsat-bb] First contact on LilacSat-2

[Bill Dillon]

I was thrilled to make my first contact (with W4CLJ) on the 00:35 z
LilacSat-2 pass this evening.  Lots of odd tones, and it sounded at times
that someone was keying without speaking, but I still was able to get
through.

I used an HT and Arrow 2 antenna.  Unlike AO-85, there wasn't much activity
on the sat, I heard just one other station (NP4?? DM41), but couldn't make
contact.

Good ol' SO-50 is still the easiest of the easy-sats for me to work with my
simple gear.
