9Y4D worked on AO-73
Good evening,
On the 0153Z pass of AO-73, I worked Chris, 9Y4D, in Trinidad & Tobago (FK90gg). Chris is relatively new to the satellites and has been heard on FO-29, XW-2F, and AO-73. I've worked him on both XW-2F and AO-73. He uses LoTW.
9Y has been relatively uncommon on satellite, so keep an eye out for him if you need it!
73,
Paul, N8HM
Hi all!
Is there any website around that keeps track of each satellite confirmed QRB records? I'm looking into how far anyone worked on each sat.
73 de Pedro CU2ZG
There has been things like that in the past, but I don't know about any currently existing. We could certainly create one on the AMSAT website!
This is what I can find:
AO-40 - 18,263km (I8CVS in JN70es and ZL1AOX in RF72mv) AO-7 - 7,947.381km (KG5CCI in EM24uq01mu and EA5TT in IM99sl48cx) FO-29 - 7,599.959km (KG5CCI in EM34st11tl and F4CQA in JN17ea22ot)
If anyone would like to claim records on any other satellite, please post your claim. I will create a page with this information.

Hi,
I'm using formulas to determine the distance to the horizon from the satellite, then the distance across the (curved) surface between two opposite locations. Again, it's meant for sea level. AO-7 solves with 7,858.478 Km which is below the record of 7,947.381 Km. This is because the higher from the sea level you are, the farther you are in the sat horizon. I'll send you that list later today.

Thanks, Claudio.
I'll put your QSO with VK4ASB (16,337km) up for now unless someone has one better than that from AO-13. What mode was that? I'm assuming Mode B?

Oggetto Re: [amsat-bb] Satellite QRB records
Hi,
I'm using formulas to determine the distance to the horizon from the
satellite, then the distance across the (curved) surface between two
opposite locations.
Again, it's meant for sea level. AO-7 solves with 7,858.478 Km which
is below the record of 7,947.381 Km. This is because the higher from
the sea level you are, the farther you are in the sat horizon.
I'll send you that list later today.

Quoting Paul Stoetzer n8hm@arrl.net:
Thanks, Pedro. I've seen calculations for those distances before,
but they
always seem to vary by method used. It would be a nice addition to
put the
records in perspective.

That's only about 14,150km. Nice QSO, but not quite Claudio's 16,337km between Italy and Queensland.

Hi all,
I've become known as a "satellite operator" within my fellow hams from the island I come from (CU7). So I've been taking advantage of that and try to get them, and others, operating the sats.
I've been helping my brother to setup his interface between the PC and his TS2000, and providing some tips, conventions and best practices on how to operate. Despite he had operated them many years ago (including contacts with the ISS on voice) when he didn't had a PC to help him correct the Doppler, he had other ideas on how to do it. Gradually he's getting better at it, same as what happened to me these last few months. His call is CU7BC, and I've made 2 contacts with him on XW-2F and I know he already worked a CT1 station on his own on FO-29.
There are two other hams interested in sats on his grid, but one is not equipped yet, and the other only has FM. I must confess that I'm puzzled on how someone that is VHF/UHF equipped states that is not sat equipped. Getting into any linear bird using omnis is easy, and that's what I've been doing so far.
As a bonus, I'm also trying to get HM68 grid active, but the person in question is not equipped yet.
So keep you ears sharp for HM58!
