NH7WN and WA7SDI on AO-51

December 13, 2007 | Amateur Radio | By: Mark VandeWettering

Robert (NH7WN) was my first QSL card for a contact via AO-51. I still owe him a QSL card, but to be fair, I haven’t designed one yet. Still, on a low pass to the west, I managed to work him again. He was recording the contact, here’s my recording. Paul (WA7SDI) comes in from Eugene, OR at the end. Had some trouble with the signals in spots, there’s quite a static burst in the middle, where I just couldn’t seem to hit the satellite (my aiming might not have been that good). Still, worked out pretty well.

Here’s the MP3 of this Dec 13, 2007 QSO.
