Hello Frank, In the course of writing a new article I was just researching one of my old waffles and noticed that you andI had a 9 minute (CW) QSO via FO-20 ... 9 years ago. K9CIS got quite a write-up too ! ... ha-ha-ha. The wheel keeps turning so it was nice to hook up again on AO-7.
I too miss the FO satellites ... they were my all time favourites.
I managed LA to JA on FO-20 and to the best of my knowledge that's still a LEO record.
So sad to see FO-29 go down but hey!, none of us live forever, it sometimes just "feels" like we do.
