Steve, thought you might enjoy the photo. Battery muffin fan in the left.

Thanks for your great, fun design.

Bob,

It is really awesome!! I think you are the first operator in the world operating on AO-85 using an indoor omnidirectional antenna and running just 7W half-duplex. Please, can I share your picture with my satellite buddies? Everyone will be very happy to know you are using this setup for AO-85.

Very good about visiting my home country! I have talked with Eduardo in the radio (Who has not? Hi Hi...) and we have exchanged a lot of emails  but I never have met him in person.

You can try FO-29 with your current setup as well. I think,  It will be easier for you.

Thanks very much again!

73!

Hector

I am using the 817 and it puts out about 7w.  I have an Amsat preamp on the receive side.

I visited your home country and met Eduardo CO8LY last spring. I have also read of your great DX feats, I will be honored to have your QSL.

The QRZ address is good.

Bob,

Thanks very much for the picture!

How much power are you running on the uplink?? It is very interesting to see you are working AO-85 with an Omni antenna. A lot of people and I myself have had issues to get into the satellite running 5W and a 6 elements beam (ARROW Antenna).

73!

This is the homebrew antenna I was using this morning, inside.
