Thanks to all who expressed an interest in the qso between WC7V and
RN1NW on ao7b. I have hoped to make this contact for over 30 years. The
fact that it happened is thanks to Oscar 7 and Ted, RN1NW was 559 even as
ao7 approached his horizon. The satellite was ascending at my qth and at
about 3 degrees at the end of our qso. The QSO took place on orbit #60960 at
16:08Z. I had heard RN1NW a couple of days prior but didn't make the
contact. Because of ao7's history and bright future, I think any contact on
this satellite is a record. Thanks again to RN1NW.
