Congratulations to John Papay, K8YSE, who has been awarded satellite DXCC
with 101 entities verified. The satellite DXCC standings are available at
http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-standings

While there is no way to be certain, John's satellite DXCC is likely the
first to be obtained without the use of either HEO satellites or sub-horizon
Mode K propagation since prior to the launch of AO-10 in 1983. Starting on
satellites in 2006, John did not even enjoy the advantage of FO-20's higher
LEO apogee or RS-15's high LEO orbit in his quest to work and confirm 100
DXCCs via satellite.This is certainly a noteworthy achievement!

73,

Paul, N8HM (77 satellite DXCCs worked and counting!)
