I just received a LoTW confirmation for AO-13 14 NOV 1990 mode B QSO with CE0ZZZ. Brings back memories. I sure missed the high orbit birds.
I have been active on AO-07 and VO-52 mode B lately and enjoy, but I hope I live to see another high orbit bird.
I have been using my Flex-5000 software defined radio with 70 CM transverter and 2M down converter lately. Pretty cool to see whole satellite down link and search for other signals while calling CQ using SDR multiple receive capability.
BTW , I have all 1822 of my satellite QSOs uploaded to LoTW and only 27 confirmed. 7 of the confirmed are for QSOs before 2009. I had 1609 QSOs before 2009.
If you haven't uploaded your old or new SAT QSOs, please do.
