[HamSat] AO-51 (ECHO) Update

[larry fields,n6hpx/du1 manila]

   Thanks Tim for the upgrade on AO-51 I heard the
satellite back in November while I was in Alameda
California. I was in a Hotel there and chatting with
members of a club I belong to many years ago. One guy
there was also a satellite chaser and he mentioned the
pass to me. 
   Shortly afterwards I heard the pass. Unfortunately
for me I wasn't able to work the stations. My antenna
was a telescopic type. I have since purchased a Elk
antenna and now waiting for the delivery of it.

    Thanks again...
