This video is more a demonstration on how even a cheap Baofeng radio can be used to make satellite contacts.
During the video I made a contact with a NA1S, and a K8TL, and heard various others.

The contacts start at about: 3:00

The antenna I'm using is a NA-771 15.6-Inch Whip.

Time:1725z

They are cheap radios, but they work, and are a great starter, or intro radio for people looking to get into ham radio.

Baofeng UV-5R
