[amsat-bb] ZS2BWB, HA2RD QRV on AO-10

["KF4FDJ (Mike in Ft. Myers, FL)" <seven77@xxxxxxxx>]

Fellow sat ops,

AO-10 has been hopping with activity the past couple days.  I managed to
work a few new countries, including ZS2BWB, Ken in South Africa, HA2RD,
Andy in Hungary, and S92RS, Hardy, in Sao Tome.  Also this weekend, I
added another couple of countries, SP4LVH, Jerzy, in Poland, and LX2LA,
André, in Luxembourg.

Hardy, S92RS created the biggest pileup I've ever heard on a satellite,
with what sounded like 100 stations calling at the same time.  It
sounded a bit like I would imagine a descent into Dante's Hell would
sound like.

73, and good DX,  Mike
