Hello John, Thanks for your comment on amsat-bb, and congratulations on your VUCC & WAS at those early times. We are very proud to participate with LUSAT, driven during the 80's and 90's by W3GEY, Jan King, dealing us into that adventure. Looking forward to keep the excitement of those times. 73, lu7abf, PedroAMSAT Argentina member. On Friday, January 17, 2020, 2:04:08 AM UTC, John Geiger af5cc2@gmail.com wrote:
Congratulations on your anniversary and successful satellite! UO-14 was the very first satellite I made a QSO through, back in 2002. That was a great sat, unfortunately we lost it a couple of years after that. Never would have guessed that UO-14 would lead me into 18 years of satellite operating with a satellite VUCC and satellite WAS! 73 John W5TD
