Thanks, Pedro. I've seen calculations for those distances before, but they always seem to vary by method used. It would be a nice addition to put the records in perspective.

Hi,
Thanks!
I'm compiling a list of the maximum possible QRBs for two targets standing at sea level, and the max known sat altitude that I can find. If you'd like that I can send it to you later.

Quoting Paul Stoetzer n8hm@arrl.net:
This page is now live on the AMSAT website:
http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=4751
There's a link to it at the bottom of the Communications Satellites page.
Again, please claim records for other satellites if you think you may hold the record!

There has been things like that in the past, but I don't know about any
currently existing. We could certainly create one on the AMSAT website!
This is what I can find:
AO-40 - 18,263km (I8CVS in JN70es and ZL1AOX in RF72mv) AO-7 - 7,947.381km (KG5CCI in EM24uq01mu and EA5TT in IM99sl48cx) FO-29 - 7,599.959km (KG5CCI in EM34st11tl and F4CQA in JN17ea22ot)
If anyone would like to claim records on any other satellite, please post your claim. I will create a page with this information.

Hi all!
Is there any website around that keeps track of each satellite confirmed QRB records? I'm looking into how far anyone worked on each sat.
