[amsat-bb] Re: RS12/13 Merry Christmas / HNY Message
Tony, FB. At first I thought RS-12/13 pulled an AO-7. :) RS-12/13 was a fine bird. It was the first bird I made satellite QSO's with and had a blast with it. RS-10/11 provided numerous contacts as well. 73, Jeff WB3JFS Las Vegas, NV DM26 - Original Message - From: Tony d...@optonline.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Saturday, June 06, 2009 12:13 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: RS12/13 Merry Christmas / HNY Message Jeff, When did you record this?
