Today at 18:59UTC myself, (K4FEG EM55aj) and Jari, OH2FQV (KP20mf), had a successful 2way CW contact on AO7-b both signals were 559 with approximately 1 degree (or less) of elevation on both sides of the pass.
The calculated distance on this QSO is approximately 7862Km based on a couple of calculation programs.
Jari has an excellent station for low elevation operations and can hear to LOS with ease.
THANK YOU JARI FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE!
