On April 12 Tim, N3TL reported,\n\"At 21:33 UTC today G1WPR answered my \"CQ DX\" \non AO-7 Mode B. I was sending CW with the straight key I picked up for\nStraight Key Night on AO-51, and Terry called me in SSB so we completed a\ncross-mode QSO of more than a minute with a few exchanges. I am thrilled!\"\n\nTim also logged more trans-Atlantic AO-7 QSOs on April 16, \"PH7PCF in the\nNetherlands answered my CW \"CQ DX\" with a hello in SSB. Then, a couple of\nminutes later, F2IL returned my CW in some CW from France. \nWhat a hoot!\"\n\nThe equipment at N3TL consists of a Yaesu FT-857D for TX and a Yaesu\nFT-817ND for RX (both used radios). He uses a Diamond MX-72H duplexer to\nconnect them to a dual-band Elk log periodic, which is hand-held, manually\ntracking the satellites. Computer doppler control was done with Simon's HRD\nSatellite Tracker.  Of the CW operation Tim described his setup, \"I have the\n\"CQ DX\" call set up in a memory buffer on my FT-857D. But when somebody\nresponds, the straight key takes over.\"\n\nTurning 35 years old on November 15, 2009 AO-7 still carries lots of amateur\nsatellite traffic.  Joe, K3SZH says Igor UA9CS Igor has now logged over 6000\nQSOs via the bird.  Also, this month Mike, KC9ELU has reached his 1000th QSO\nvia AO-7.\n\n[ANS thanks Tim, N3TL and Joe, K3SZH for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nW0YPT Silent Key\n\nAMSAT received the sad news that Telmer G.

Jerry, W0SAT remembered, \"He elmered me\nand helped me get on the satellites in 1996. I knew him as a great friend\nthat I called on for advice all the time. I used to visit him at his QTH and\nwent to hamfests with him too.
