[amsat-bb] How many satellites have you worked?

[David Giles]

Started in 1997 with:
RS-10    V/H
AO-16    packet and later voice
RS-12    V/H

Got serious with AO-40 using mode U/S.

UO-14    V/U FM
ISS U/V repeater mode
AO-7     U/V and V/H SSB
FO-20    U/V SSB
FO-29    V/U SSB, didn't try the BBS
SO-50    V/U FM
AO-51    V/U, L/U, but mostly on V/S
VO-52    U/V SSB
DO-64    U/V SSB
SO-67    V/U FM
HO-68    V/U SSB

Currently
AO-73    U/V SSB
AO-85    U/V FM
AO-91    U/V FM
AO-92    U/V and L/V FM
XW-2A, B, C, and F  U/V  SSB
CAS-4A and B    SSB

Listened to many more and sent in reports.  Occasionally got a QSL card 
back.

Missed out on AO-10, AO-13 and SO-35.  Too far from the equator for IO-86.

Total talked through is 24.  Most QSOs made have been through AO-40.  
Most for a LEO is with AO-51.
AO-91 is the most popular at the moment.
