[amsat-bb] AO-7 Distance Record.

[John Hackett]

Hi Mak,
           I believe I broke the AO-7 distance record this morning with a 
QSO with Patrick K9HF in Madison, Ohio, EM48UN.

EM48UN to Frei Island JP33WB is just over 7800Km according to your DX 
calculator.

Unfortunately, the e-mails I tried sending to Patrick at his address on 
QSL-COM and Amsat.org have all bounced so unless he reads this and contacts 
me with his QSL I cannot confirm the contact.

Just like the one I had on FO-20 with Japan some years ago ... for the 
longest distance LEO DX QSO.

However ... I presume you have seen the cards from AL7JK ??.

I've attached my own card for this mornings QSO with K9HF.

If K9HF ... (or anyone else) ... contacts me with his e-mail address I'll 
let you know.
