Kevin, My personal best on an LEO is Norway to Japan - (FO-20 in 1997).
Depending whether you classsify AO-7 as a LEO bird - (with an orbital height of 1400Km) - the current record there is 7500 - 7700Km, by several stations.
You may have been only interested in FM satellites, to9 which I have no idea.
Hope that helps somewhat.

I was searching through the net to try to find out QSO distance records for some of the LEO sats such as AO-27, AO-51, SO-50, etc. Anyone know where that info may be found or does anyone have a personal record of your
furthest contact? I was looking through my HRD logbook and so far, KL4E on
AO51 in BP51fh (Alaska) to my QTH in EM12hv (Texas) is my personal record at 3016 miles. It just got me thinking.
