Day after yesterday on the ascending orbit Nr 35527 I was in contact with IW6OVD chatting in SSB for 12 minutes only with him the full orbit like on the telephone. IW6OVD posted a mp3 file of the above QSO at the following address: http://hamradio.selfip.com/iw6ovd/VO-52.mp3 If you haven't worked either of these two historic satellites,AO7 and VO52, do it NOW! 73" de i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
