Kevin,
My personal best on an LEO is Norway to Japan - (FO-20 in 1997).
Depending whether you classsify AO-7 as a LEO bird - (with an orbital height of
1400Km) - the current record there
is 7500 - 7700Km, by several stations.
You may have been only interested in FM satellites, to9 which I have no idea.
Hope that helps somewhat.
