[amsat-bb] First contacts on NAYIF-1

[Matthew Stevens]

I successfully worked PV8DX, NS3L, and K8YSE on NAYIF-1 from EL98c
​b​
in central Florida. Operation
​was (as expected) similar to AO-73.
​Published frequencies seemed to work fine. The pre-launch keps
​ were a little behind, the sat rose and set around a minute earlier than
predicted​ at my location.

​The downlink is VERY loud, PV8DX was S8 on my handheld 3 element arrow
antenna. I was transmitting 8w with an FT-857 and receiving on an FT-817.

​Nice to hear some activity already, and thanks to the FUNcube team for
this great new transponder!

Below is a link to my recording of the pass.
