Hi SAREX fans
I got today my STS-79 qsl! I'm realy thrilled!!!
It represents my second voice qso with the Space Shuttle
and it's also a "unique piece of collection"!
About it, Frank Bauer said (to Tom KC5MXA) last 4th January:
> If you recall, the STS-79 mission was a very busy one for the astronauts.
> Unfortunately, they had very little time to make many SAREX QSOs. Only

> instead of spending hundreds of dollars printing up new cards just for
> STS-79. That is why you got the modified W5RRR card.
So, now I'm wondering: exactly how many we are???
If you are among them (or know who is) please drop me an email
with your call, call worked, date and UTC.
I will make a list and post it here later.
Thanks in advance!
