Good morning, Thanks to all that have responded to the email below.
I have been in contact with Josep EA6SA. The information on QRZ.com is incorrect. His correct grid locator is JM19lo, this results in a 22 km reduction to the distance claimed previously. The correct distance is 7,766 km. Good luck with pushing the envelope. 73, Pierre ZS6BB -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Andre' v Deventer Sent: 18 January 2010 23:29 To: Amsat-Bb Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-7 Distance stretched again !
