[amsat-bb] DELAWARE CONTACT?

[Paul Andrews]

Scott,

Check out my QRZ page and you'll see my Squam Lake house setup with two FM
HTs.  This has worked nicely with SO-50.

I am very familiar with the FT-847 since that was my first satellite radio.

I'll build up an antenna system and we'll test.  SO-50 mid-week should be
ok.  Right????????  :0

I went to Connecticut with a 144 MHz EME system to give PA5Y WAS EME.

It will be a pleasure to activate DE for you.
