Congratulations Bob! Very nice accomplishment!
I'm at 45 states confirmed, only needing CT, HI, ME, NH and NY. They are doable from AZ, but haven't had the luck to work ops from those states.
Hope to hear you on the birds soon.

SAT Operators, I just received my WAS-Satellite Award #341 which ended upcovering 38 years of casual operating! Earlier this year, I was going through my paper QSL's getting readyto make some submissions for various ARRL Awards at the DaytonHamvention. Sorting through the Cards, I made a stack of SatelliteQSL's. I started to notice that I had quite a few States confirmed andwondered if I was finally close to WAS even though I wasn't really inthe hunt very seriously. Would you believe I had them ALL worked but was only missing a QSLfrom Vermont?!! Happily, it was Nick KB1RVT who I KNEW was alwaysgood for a confirmation which he quickly returned. Oldest QSL used - W7LSV in Oregon, 10/13/78 Oscar 8 Mode A CWLast State WKD - North Dakota W0N (Wyatt AC0RA) 11/13/15 SO50 FMLast QSL Rcvd -
