[amsat-bb] W7O

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Red,

Thanks for the kind words!  It has been fun to be one of
many W7O operators, on the HF bands and satellites.  Lots
of hams have been talking about our satellites, and the
oldest one still in operation after 40 years.  A good
thing!

I am now starting to get logs from the W7O operators.  I
still need to get logs from about half of the operators,
but I have already received logs with 2360 QSOs for all
bands, modes, and satellites.  Looking only at Logbook
of the World, W7O has confirmations for 721 of those 2360
QSOs, with stations in 26 DXCC countries on 5 continents.
QSL requests have been filling my mailbox since the middle
of last week. Seeing the QSO count, a large order for QSL
cards will be coming soon...  :-)

73!
