I had my applications and cards for\n the satellite Worked All States award reviewed here in Phoenix \n a couple of weeks ago, and the certificate arrived today. :-) \n \n Out here in the western part of North America, it is possible \n to work all 50 states with the existing group of LEO satellites\n we have. In fact, it can be done with just the FM satellites\n from out here if there are stations on from each of the states.\n My application used QSL cards from contacts only on the 3 FM \n satellites (AO-27, AO-51, SO-50). There is no special \n endorsement for doing that; the WAS certificate has \"OSCAR\" \n to identify this as a satellite WAS, along with the serial \n number for this version of the WAS (#309) and the date it was \n issued (last Thursday, 6 August). I wanted to use cards from\n only the FM-satellite QSOs, as that was one of the two goals\n I wanted to do when I started out in late 2005 (the other thing\n was to get QSL cards from at least 100 grids, for the satellite\n VUCC award). \n \n I'll use many of the same cards toward the AMSAT Sexagesimal \n award (confirming contacts with at least 60 US states/Canadian\n provinces/DXCC countries), and then do the bigger task of \n assembling a satellite VUCC application (I'm somewhere between\n 250 and 300 grids confirmed). Or I can go back on the radio, \n and leave that paperwork for some other time. :-) In any event, \n thanks to all the stations over 3 1/2 years that got on the air\n from the different states - and for sending those QSL cards to \n confirm the contacts. \n \n 73!\n \n \n \n \n \n Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\n http://www.wd9ewk.net/ <http://www.wd9ewk.net/> \n \n \n \n _______________________________________________\n Sent via [email protected].
