The UA0's were just a bit beyond my horizon. The JA's were only a dream or required Mode K with HF skip! Andy

I haven't checked for distance, but I did work a JA on one of those RS's and a couple of UAO's.

I have been looking through my QSO info on and off, for a while now, digging for my QSO to Germany via AO-7B, in the early 1980's. It hasn't surfaced yet, but I did run across two QSL cards from DC9ZP for contacts from my previous QTH in Pearland, Texas to Sorup, Germany via RS-6 and RS-8 in 1982. Manfred calculated the distance to be 8262.23 km. My calculation is more like 8225 km.
Has anyone been working up DX lists for RS-6 and RS-8?
