This morning I received my first APRS signals from NO-44 although not strong it was early audible as it passed over the UK to the north.. I was also lucky enough to be able to get a packet digi’d!

Was great working you to Les, yes very few packets heard via NO-44 but got my packets through it a couple of times this week!
Well done on the 847 nice radios! I’m using a IC-910 but suspect you might have had a look through the posts on here and found out more about my setup!
Look forward to catching you on one of the other satellites maybe even an SSB one!
