Congrats, Bob!
I'm sitting at both 49 states confirmed by paper QSL and 49 states confirmed in my LoTW account. I just need someone in Hawaii who can work down to the horizon to try an AO-7 sked (max elevations of no more than 1.5 degrees on each side from within my WAS range).

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 - KB1RVT Nick in Vermont, 1/4/16 SO50 FM 50 States on SAT, 50 Paper QSL's, 38 Years!! WHEW!! Thanks to all who helped & 73, Bob K8BL (AMSAT since 1979) _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
