How to make a satellite contact via VO-52

Simon 2E0HTS has made an excellent YouTube video showing how to have a contact using the Amateur Radio satellite VO-52.

The YouTube description reads:

Using a home made 10 element 435 & IO Loop for 145MHz, with a Yaesu FT-847.

Simon - 2E0HTS, adjusts his (uplink) transmitted signal to correct the doppler of the Received (downlink) frequency whilst talking to fellow Ham Operators around Europe.

Thanks to the Stations worked via the VO-52 Satellite which were SP9FPP, PD0HF & SP6DCO. Stations worked in the video are all licenced Amateur Radio operators.
