[HamSat] Hello from a newbie?

[larry fields]

  I am starting to learn a little bit more here and
appreciate the help from one's like George,and
hopefully others in the group.
  Being a traveler and civilian for the Navy, I try to
stay on top of the internet emails but sometimes its
rather harder than other times to do so..before they
introduced internet on the ships I had to wait for the
next port to do so..like Singapore,Guam,Japan and
Thailand..Now I have access on board some of the
ships..
   Lost connections to ones that were usually
everyday,like dx-qsl and its amazing that all of a
sudden I will see 30 or 40 posting to that group..but
last night sent a test posting and it bounced..
   I am at sea and will start trying to use the FM
satellites as soon as possible,and between jobs,but my
main plan is to setup my Icom 706mk2 for some
satellite ops,although It don't have the 430 ssb ops.
But again there are other places to operate too.
   I will be here listening and as soon as possible be
telling my 2 cents..
   Larry,n6hpx/du1
