[amsat-bb] Re: NEED CONTACT WITH MAINE AND RHODE ISLAND FOR W.A.S AWARD!

Hi!

Instead of commenting about the format of David's message, has
anyone contacted him about the *content* of his message?

Maybe there's someone in those states, or someone who can quickly
drive to them, who can help him with his WAS award via satellite.  I
know I have worked hams in both states over the past few months,
plus there are probably others that are not far away that could put
them on the air.  Even for those who already have confirmations with
those states, the grids that come on the air from those places could
be of interest to others as well.

Thanks to two traveling hams, I was able to finally work Delaware
twice in the past few weeks after never hearing a peep from there in
almost 3 1/2 years on the birds.  When I returned from my road trip
last week, I had a QSL in the mailbox for one of those two QSOs,
and I am off to meet a local card checker to review my application
for a satellite WAS award tomorrow evening.  :-)

73!
