Hi Kees,

   I'm looking for a single HT to send to VY0Yl to get her on the FM
satellites (single radio, basic antenna system, simple [smart phone app?
] tracking software) before her summer is over.  What did you decide on
for a radio, and / or do you have any recommendations?

   Thanks,

        Ron VE8RT DP22
