Title: AO-51 was great!
Post by: KC4UMO on May 16, 2008, 08:29:21 PM

Went out to the shack a moment ago. Tuned in AO-51. Throwed out my call and BAM! Made 12 contacts. Seems everyone was calling me. Was like working a pile up on HF. I could not beleive the down link of my own signal. It was booming. And only 10 watts uplink with no preamps. I decided to quit because I did not want to be a sat hog.

Maybe everyone want my grid??
