Yep, the Grand Old Lady (AO-7) is like a Timex Watch............"it took a LICKING, but keeps on TICKING"....
And Bob, I agree........I think Joe is a major stockholder in that old gal, hi...

Hello friends,
Today in the 161.057 orbit of the AO-7 approximately 22:51 UTC our friend Joe, K3SZH, managed to maintain a short QSO with Francisco Ramirez, PY2OV. The distance between the two stations was 7738 km (4833 Miles). And with absolute certainty the QSO could be extended by a greater good distance. I have the recording of QSO. Soon I'll add the link to the video / audio.
73,
Pirajá, PS8RF
