Hi Gary,
The satellite was RS-13. A little fiddly to make it work (my fist
wasn't good then, and hasn't improved since), but with some patience one
could make a contact. A quick search in the AMSAT archives turned up
this article:

Good fun,

You could then send that information to Box 88 in Moscow and receive a QSL. A quick Google search did not turn up any pictures of the cards.
