Nice! I made my first LEO sat contact also in the garden with an arrow yagi and a cheap HT. It was fun but I prefer operating the easy way and building a nice station. Some neighbours watched me making this first contact and they now speak to me differently...

I was out struggling to rig up a new antenna I'd made - nothing was going right and I was getting frustrated - when it occurred to me that if someone were to ask what I was doing, they would've seen a rambling lunatic trying to sculpt a pile of coat hangers while yelling "I'M TRYING TO REACH THE SPACE STATION!!!"
