Operating and Contesting

OSCAR10-QRV

 This year was the first time I'm using my satellite equipment outside of Europe.

At the picture you can see the 19 elements TONNA (70cm) and the 9 elements F9FT (2m) on the roof.

But during the first 10 OSCAR-10 QSOs this system was mounted on the large 3m x 4m balkony.
The transceiver for the Satellite-QSOs was my good old YAESU FT-736R with about 25 Watt out.

Jacky, 3B8CF, makes also his first Satellite contacts with it and enjoyed the SAT-Mode.
