Well it looks like the 13 colonies sat operations are a no go. I only could
get 7 of the 13 States covered. I will give it a try again next year. I want
to thank the 6 ops that volunteered, maybe next year guys....

SAT Operators,
I just received my WAS-Satellite Award #341 which ended upcovering 38 years
of casual operating!
Earlier this year, I was going through my paper QSL's getting readyto make
some submissions for various ARRL Awards at the DaytonHamvention. Sorting
through the Cards, I made a stack of SatelliteQSL's. I started to notice
that I had quite a few States confirmed andwondered if I was finally close
to WAS even though I wasn't really inthe hunt very seriously.
Would you believe I had them ALL worked but was only missing a QSLfrom
Vermont?!! Happily, it was Nick KB1RVT who I KNEW was alwaysgood for a
confirmation which he quickly returned.
Oldest QSL used - W7LSV in Oregon, 10/13/78 Oscar 8 Mode A CWLast State WKD
- North Dakota W0N (Wyatt AC0RA) 11/13/15 SO50 FMLast QSL Rcvd - KB1RVT Nick

50 States on SAT, 50 Paper QSL's, 38 Years!! ?WHEW!!

Congrats, Bob!
I'm sitting at both 49 states confirmed by paper QSL and 49 states
confirmed in my LoTW account. I just need someone in Hawaii who can
work down to the horizon to try an AO-7 sked (max elevations of no
more than 1.5 degrees on each side from within my WAS range).

Congrats Bob!
I remember finishing my WAS up. Now if the ARRL would find my WAC
submission that was lost (along with a few non-replacable QSL cards), I
would be even happier.

I agree. However, it would be nice to do it on LEO as well. I know
there have been Washington, DC to Hawaii QSOs on AO-7 in the past
(though I'd likely go to a nice tall, quiet hill in Virginia within 50
miles for a sked).
After a Hawaii QSO, then I'd like a QSO with Siberia on FO-29 or AO-7
to complete a LEO WAC!

Paul, it certainly would be more satisfying on LEO given the challenge. The
mutual window has to be quite short, I'd imagine.

I have for sale the following VHF/UHF antennas and accessories:
1. Cushcraft A148-10S 2 meter yagi. 10 elements on a 12 foot boom. About
4 months old, works fine. Sells new for $130 I am asking $85 shipped.
2. Diamond A430S15 15 element 70cm yagi on a 7 foot boom. Very easy to
assemble, would make good roving antenna as well. Sells new for $90 plus
shipping. I am asking $70 shipped.
3. MFJ 1762 3 element 6 meter yagi on a 6 foot boom. Weighs all of 2
pounds. Works nicely for a 3 element beam. Very easy to
assemble/disassemble, would make a nice roving antenna. I had to modify
how the one side of the director mounts to the boom, but still easy to take
on and off. Sells new for $99.95 plus shipping, I am asking $60 shipped.
4. MFJ 2m/70cm diplexer with SO239 connectors on it. Used for 2 or 3 days
only, works fine. These sell new for $30 plus shipping, I am asking $25
shipped.
5. Hygain (pre-mfj) CD-44 antenna rotor. Medium duty rotor, recently
refurbished, with Ham IV style control box, and around 50 feet of 8 wire
cable. Performs excellent. A new CD45 rotor sells for $430 plus the
cable. I am asking $200 shipped. I also have the lower mast mounting
bracket if you need that as well.
All prices include shipping in the US. I can take paypal/check/MO.

Congratulations Bob! Very nice accomplishment!
I'm at 45 states confirmed, only needing CT, HI, ME, NH and NY. They are
doable from AZ, but haven't had the luck to work ops from those states.
Hope to hear you on the birds soon.

Wow, Bob, that is a fantastic accomplishment, darned near impossible these
days. Congratulations!
