Don, G4LOO began with statistics covering our overall success during the CQWW SSB contest. Points earned this year (uncorrected) were over twice achieved last year and much more than 2020 and 2019. This success can be put down to improved propagation conditions and our use of more advanced equipment.

The video shown was one from last year’s RSGB@8 program titled ‘Getting started on QO-100 by Dom Smith, M0BLF’  Dom explained his equipment set up and showed his small dish antenna. He demonstrated a contact through the satellite before the wind and the rain got the better of his location. However, he did demonstrate the stable contact through the satellite due to it’s geo-stable position.

If you missed the showing, you can find it here, (with good audio):
