Satellite Contact at Last

Well it happened. After lots of trial and error I made my first satellite contact on 2m FM. I used a 1/4 wave mag-mount antenna and ran 5w with my FT60. I programmed 5 channels so I could follow the satellite and compensate for the doppler, and finally heard the bird. Once I had decent audio I put my call out and someone came back to me. Too cool. I received qsl confirmation and found they were in Koontz Lake. So not a long DX contact, but still a contact. I am working on a new antenna so I can improve my satellite operations. Results will be posted.
