After some initial hurdles…KP46 activated from far corner of the car park. With only 15deg of elevation, glad to have found a gap through the trees to see the bird:) 73 de OH/F5VMJ/P #qo100#amsat#hamradio
The last locator done this morning. I was slightly hesitant about this ‘sensitive’ grid in KP55AS ..but thankfully it ran without incident. So, all the planned grids for this trip activated. Job done. Tnx all 👍 73 and see you on the next one! #qo100#amsat
An hour’s drive away …squeezed in KP35 this afternoon. Weather was warmer there 👍 I told Poul G7BTP it was almost ‘tropical’ compared to higher up…I wasn’t being facetious. Tnx fer QSOs de OH/F5VMJ/P #amsat#qo100
Despite the snow, got to KP36. Again the prep work paid off… had view of satellite just above the trees. Tnx for the QSOs. Still very cold here, with my groundstation/PA cooling board showing 3degC (inside the car) this morning. Good stuff! 73 de OH/F5VMJ/P #qo100#amsat
Oufffff …KP47. With 90+ QSOs despite everything going Pete Tong. I couldn’t pull the weaker SSB stations out of the noise ‘mush’. Working CW crossmode was the only option and saved the day for some. On the plus side: WX has improved. Tnx agn 73. #qo100#amsat
Temperature up and shy glimpses of sunshine. But very slippery/slushy to KP45. Many thanks to the nearly hundred OMs for their patience this morning👍. 🇵🇹Espero activa-lo outra vez brevemente …e numa tarde, para condizer melhor com o horário do Brasil🇧🇷. #qo100#amsat
Rest In Peace OM Ichsan YD0RH. One of founder Microsatellite dan Internet in Indonesia. Thanks for all your knowledge and experience that you've share to us, and make us a better ham radio operator, especially in amateur satellite communication.
More snow! But I have donned a T-shirt of my hometown club in Cascais …to keep me warm (at least psychologically). ‘Because you can take the man out of the ARLC, but you can’t take the ARLC out of the man’👍😂 KP46 again today and maybe KP36 if I can get there. #qo100#amsat
