QO-100 S2S in SOTA

*Andrew Holland G4VFL* and *Nick Gregory G0HIK* successfully achieved a
SOTA "S2S" (Summit-to-summit) QSO via the QO-100 Oscar 100 satellite.

Andrew was on Holme Fell G/LD-051, while Nick was on Kirkby Moor G/LD-049.
The short distance between them, in the Lake District, obviously meant that
they had excellent talkback support via 2m FM.

Both stations comprised similar gear, including  FT-817, SG-Labs, Patch
Ant, 50cm dish, Octagon LNB and G0MRF converter.

While QSOs via terrestrial repeaters are not valid for SOTA, contacts via
satellite actually are.
