The correct distance of his\ncontact is 7,538.685 km. He already fixed it in his web page.\n\nMy contact with Peter is 886 m down their mark.

It is my furthest contact on the birds!\n\nBack on October 2013, Peter and I had a very nice contact between EL92sd,\nCienfuegos, Cuba and IO80so, Weymouth area, UK. It was a 7286 km contact and\nprobably the first contact between UK and Cuba on FO-29!\n\nPeter and I desired to try again on FO-29, this time between EM21hs, Texas,\nUS and his habitual spot in IO80so. We were able to complete a very nice CW\ncontact on the 92319 orbit of FO-29. Peter had just 0.1 degree as maxim\nelevation while I had 0.8 during the 80 seconds mutual window. As before,\nPeter did all the hard work by driving until his habitual spot at a\ncliff-top and setting up his \"portable satellite station\" (19 elements\nYagi for 435MHz and 10 elements Yagi for 2m both with horizontal\npolarization). FO-29 was sounding really good on these orbits. It was a\nsolid 559 satellite contact, we were very impressed.\n\nWe made the calculations using our 10 digit grid squares at\nhttp://no.nonsense.ee/qth/map.html The distance between the stations was\n7537.799 km (4683.77 mi). To my knowledge, the longest distance archived on\nFO-29 until now had been 7,533.685 km between Frank, K4FEG and Erich, DK1TB.\nhttp://www.qrz.com/db/k4feg It appears that an even longer distance is\nachievable. It has been reported that FO-29 has a \"theoretical maximum\nrange\" of 7502 km, but I guess that at least 7600km is doable. We will try\nto break our own record!\n\nThis contact was possible thanks to the great feature implemented on SatPC32\nV12.8b. There is an option of seeing the frequency you are at the satellite\nreceiver at any time during a pass. It allows the operators to tune the\nright frequencies and attempt a contact without having to search for each\nother. \n\nWe have some pictures, recording and GPS screen shoots. I will try to post\neverything online. I will be happy to email everything, also.\n\nThanks very much to Peter for his persistence, effort and all the fun!\n\n73!\n\nHector, W5CBF/CO6CBF\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
