[amsat-bb] want to have some fun ?

[Mike Seguin]

Hi Henk,

What a huge signal from Grifex! It was 25 dB or so out of the noise. I 
used HDSDR with my original Funcube. HDSDR was feeding VAC to the UZ7HO 
modem software.

About the only text I saw in the clear was FM CQ to KD8SPS.

Antenna here is a KLM 40cx with SSB preamp.
