[amsat-bb] Re: AO-40 range record ??

[Art McBride]

P.H.,

Certainly no distance records but from DM13 I have worked from the U.K. to
the east, all across the Americas, and as far as Japan to the West. Passes
were in view for 12+ hours here. All contacts were made using homebrew
equipment and portable antennas in my back yard.
Despite technical problems, it was the best satellite ever.

Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-40 range record ??

Hi,

For a small club satellite presentation I will be mentioning the
benefits of HEO over LEO and the range advantage.

Can anyone tell me the distance record set when AO-40 was alive?

Thanks
