I'd also be interested in which QTH John was working from. I'm guess in the east, and not in AZ?
Amazing work in any case!

Congratulations to John Papay, K8YSE, who has been awarded satellite DXCC with 101 entities verified. The satellite DXCC standings are available at http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-standings
While there is no way to be certain, John's satellite DXCC is likely the first to be obtained without the use of either HEO satellites or sub-horizon Mode K propagation since prior to the launch of AO-10 in 1983. Starting on satellites in 2006, John did not even enjoy the advantage of FO-20's higher LEO apogee or RS-15's high LEO orbit in his quest to work and confirm 100 DXCCs via satellite.This is certainly a noteworthy achievement!
73,
Paul, N8HM (77 satellite DXCCs worked and counting!) _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
