Hi All,
I wonder if 7134.5 km is a distance record for a QSO on AO-6
On 23 june 1975 at 21:44 UTC I got a QSO via OSCAR-6 with Ben, W2BXA in Colonia, New Jersey
As we can see in QRZ.com W2BXA is actually about 92 years old
Congratulations Ben ! !
The report I received from W2BXA for this two-way SSB contact was R5/S7
The distance from W2BXA in FN20UO and i8CVS in JN70ES is 7134.5 km
Anybody managed anything further?
I have sent copy of W2BXA QSL card to Mak SV1BSX who take care of satellite records.
Good idea Mak !
Best 73" de
