[amsat-bb] WAS-SAT 38 Years Later!

[Fernando Ramirez]

Congratulations Bob! Very nice accomplishment!

I'm at 45 states confirmed, only needing CT, HI, ME, NH and NY. They are
doable from AZ, but haven't had the luck to work ops from those states.

Hope to hear you on the birds soon.

Wow, Bob, that is a fantastic accomplishment, darned near impossible these
days.  Congratulations!

73, Bob, WB4SON
