[amsat-bb] Re: DX LEO records, fixed elevation category

[Pedro EB4DKA]

I think a good DX was with AJ9K via FO-29 in May 19th 2005 at 23;20 UTC from 
my mobile station:
EN53 to IM78 = 4157 miles (6690 Kilometers)

You can see my FO-29 mobile station here:

and a video working FO-29 from mobile here:

Best 73 to all!
