ZP4/PY5ZUE QO-100 with only 0.2° elevation new DXCC

On March 5th, 2022, I had the pleasure working ZP4/PY5ZUE, Conrad, on QO-100 for a new Satellite DXCC entity from Finland.  Conrad parked his car in GG25TX.

Conrad had only 0.2° elevation view to the satellite.  Although everyone could hear Conrad on the downlink as his 1w 80cm dish signal on 2.4GHz made it to the satellite well, Conrad would get very deep fading and loss of signal quite frequently with his 10GHz downlink.

Conrad did a great job for the 6 hour activation allowing operators to have adequate time to give full callsign, signal report, and grid square.

Here are some pictures.
