[amsat-bb] Re: John Heath G7HIA, SK

[Gus]

I worked him twice, back in '93 via AO-13 Mode-B, SSB.  I gave him a 58 
each time.  (My reports weren't so good!)  Our first contact was a brief 
one, on the first weekend I ever operated satellite. The bird was 
crowded and I didn't really know what I was doing.  The second QSO later 
in the year was a bit more of a ragchew.

I'm looking at his QSL card right now.

Please QSP condolences to the family from this DX station.
