Hi Patrick,
I've been in touch with him to provide information on the stations I'm aware of.
Congratulations on WAS!!!! Good for you. I doubt seriously there are too many Satellite WAS awards earned via LEO satellites exclusively. That's quite an accomplishment.
Speaking of which ... I'd like to formally request BK29 as one of your rare grids to activate on the next expedition..... ;-)
73 and congrats again,

Hi!
Instead of commenting about the format of David's message, has anyone contacted him about the *content* of his message?
HI ALL! MY NAME IS DAVID, KC7USS. I AM TRYING TO EARN THE ARRL
W.A.S
AWARD. I ONLY HAVE TWO MORE STATES TO GO! THE TWO I NEED IS MAINE
AND
RHODE ISLAND.IF YOU CAN HELP PLESE E-MAIL ME AT kc7uss@gmail.com THANKS ALL!!! 73 KC7USS
Maybe there's someone in those states, or someone who can quickly drive to them, who can help him with his WAS award via satellite. I know I have worked hams in both states over the past few months, plus there are probably others that are not far away that could put them on the air. Even for those who already have confirmations with those states, the grids that come on the air from those places could be of interest to others as well.
Thanks to two traveling hams, I was able to finally work Delaware twice in the past few weeks after never hearing a peep from there in almost 3 1/2 years on the birds. When I returned from my road trip last week, I had a QSL in the mailbox for one of those two QSOs, and I am off to meet a local card checker to review my application for a satellite WAS award tomorrow evening. :-)
73!
