Satellite DXCC Awarded to K8YSE
Congratulations to John Papay, K8YSE, who has been awarded satellite DXCC with 101 entities verified. The satellite DXCC standings are available at http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-standings
While there is no way to be certain, John's satellite DXCC is likely the first to be obtained without the use of either HEO satellites or sub-horizon Mode K propagation since prior to the launch of AO-10 in 1983. Starting on satellites in 2006, John did not even enjoy the advantage of FO-20's higher LEO apogee or RS-15's high LEO orbit in his quest to work and confirm 100 DXCCs via satellite.This is certainly a noteworthy achievement!

Paul, N8HM (77 satellite DXCCs worked and counting!)
Congrats, John! Quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations John! I was getting ready to ask if anyone had worked DXCC on only the LEO satellites. Guess I now know the answer!

Congratulations from Satellite DXCC #324! Doing it all on LEO is a heck of an accomplishment.

I'd also be interested in which QTH John was working from. I'm guess in the east, and not in AZ?
Amazing work in any case!
