P.H.,
Certainly no distance records but from DM13 I have worked from the U.K. to the east, all across the Americas, and as far as Japan to the West. Passes were in view for 12+ hours here. All contacts were made using homebrew equipment and portable antennas in my back yard. Despite technical problems, it was the best satellite ever.

Hi,
For a small club satellite presentation I will be mentioning the benefits of HEO over LEO and the range advantage.
Can anyone tell me the distance record set when AO-40 was alive?
Thanks
