    "content": "Congratulations, Frank! I was off the air totally from 1992 until 2007, although I kept my license current. I didn't discover the satellites until about 15 months ago, and it's the most fun operating I've ever done. My approach is different than many, but the old QRPer in me likes it this way very much.\n\nIt's not the best solution, but with AO-7 still providing us with a decent footprint and other satellites to work, there's no real reason that 910 has to collect dust. I hope to hear you on one of the satellites sometime. Again, congratulations. Thanks a bunch for this post.\n\n73,\n\nTim - N3TL\nAthens, Ga. - EM84ha\n\n\n\n\n________________________________\nFrom: Frank A Cahoy <[email protected]>\nTo: [email protected]\nSent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 8:46:38 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Satellite WAS\n\n\nHello All,\n\nIt's been a very long time since I've posted to the BB.  All the recent\ndiscussion about Satellite WAS has given me a chance to do some bragging.\nMy first ever satellite QSO was on RS-12, Mode K, Jan. 29th, 1994.  It\nwas on CW with WA6OWM and one of the greatest thrills of my ham radio\nadventures.  It took me about nine more months to complete my WAS. \nBelieve it or not my last state worked/confirmed was KY!  I had both AK\nand HI long before the elusive KY QSO.  My RS-12 Elmer was Roger, N4ZC,\nwho to my knowledge is the only station to ever achieve DXCC on a LEO\nbird.  When the conditions were really good we could \"cheat\" a bit on\nRS-12.  It was quite easy to work that bird when it was well below the\nhorizon. I have DXCC entities such as SM, OK and JW (Actually in the\nfootprint but for only about 3 or 4 minits.) confirmed on RS-12.  I often\nheard this bird when it was well below the horizon and have received\nemails from several Europeans that tell me I was being heard but not\nhearing those that were calling me.  My Satellite WAS no. 211 is dated\nOct. 17, 1994.  All 50 were worked via RS-12.  I have been licensed since\nJune, 1960 but the Satellite WAS Award is the only WAS I've ever applied\nfor.\n\nNow I cannot even work the LEO birds.  I've taken my AO-40 earth station\ncompletely down and put a 4 element 6 m. Yagi up in its place.  As stated\nseveral times on this BB in the past, I am a DXer (115 DXCC via satellite\nand 368 DXCC alltime via HF.) and trying to work any DX at all on the LEO\nbirds is more of a challenge than this OM has left.  It would appear that\nthere is no hope of getting an HEO up anytime in the near future so hence\nthe move to 6 m.  All of my station is safely stored away and I don't\nplan on selling any of it just in case we do actually experience a\nmiracle launch.  Most painful is seeing the ICOM 910 sit and gather dust\nand used to work, very occasionally, the local 2 m. repeater.\n\n73 to all.  Frank, KØBLT\n____________________________________________________________\nSee the difference a digital projector can make.
