Since Ham Radio cartoon funnies seem to be so hard to come by, I have been making my own. I was hoping I could find out from you guy's what was the OLDEST and BEST sat you all got to use so I could make them more interesting...Basically lookin for the oldtimers fav, something before my time if you will.
I know Amsat has good info on all of them, just do not know the right one or one's to pick for my project.
I have had good feedback on them so far, I thought I might circulate them publicly seeing how postage would get a little expensive...

Other than the moon, I would have to vote for OSCAR 6.

AO-6 was the OLDEST I got to operate (actually it was the west-coast command station). But BEST has to be AO-7 since it is still perculating! FAVORITE was AO-40 mode US.

I forgot to mention that the command stations were very busy in the first few weeks of AO-6 because we had to keep the transponder turned-off to save the batteries. Unfortunately, this resulted in QSO's being cut in half, because the bird lit up with activity every time the Tx became activated. I'm sure I was not making friends!
This was from Barstow, CA and K6HIJ's front yard. We only ran as command for about two weeks. This was probably 1972?

PS: Dick (K6HIJ-sk) and I were both members of sbms which made the 2.4 GHz beacon for AO-7 (which was never turned on). Dick was my boss at Goldstone.

Hi Kevin, KF7MYK
Not including the SPUTNIC-1 beacon on 20 MHz the ECHO-1 beacon on 108.030 MHz and the moon on 70 cm EME the OLDEST communication satellite for me was OSCAR-6 and the BEST for me was AO40 on mode U/S and L/S
