On Saturday, August 13, 2016, Christian Jacobs 2E0ICL made his first
contact via the amateur radio FM CubeSat AO-85, it was with Peter Goodhall
2E0SQL.

On YouTube Christian writes:

First contact over AO-85 with Peter 2E0SQL using a new Elk antenna, a Comet
CF-4160 diplexer, and two handheld transceivers. This video also features a
portable SO-50 contact with Abdel M0NPT at Cow Drove Hill in Hampshire, UK.
