Zvonko / 9A1CAL club op.

1st 9A satellite DXCC.
Sincere thanks to all the LEO operators whose efforts made this possible, the dedicated DX operators who woke up in the middle of the night to make QSO with 9A1CAL, and rare LEO expeditions from exotic locations.

Hi Richard @va3vgr.bsky.social
Thank you very much for the confirmed VUCC satellite
LEO grid 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣!
There were a few recent QSOs pending and I wasn't sure who the "lucky winner" would be 😜!

Iceland has become greener, but it has nothing to do with global warming!
Thanks to M0NKC Kristijan @kconkas.bsky.social , for the new grids, as well as to all the rovers in previous years.

Many thanks for the QSOs in the recent RS44 pass for TF/M0NKC/P IP24, KN2K FM18 and N3FL FM19

Thank you for confirming IP13, and for a nice surprise today: IP14, also the new one!

I just worked TF/M0NKC/P @kconkas.bsky.social from IP13 on RS44, along with HP93 yesterday, those are two new fields for 9A1CAL. Thanks a lot Kristijan!

Worked N5UC from BQ30 on my AOS in RS-44 pass at 02:45Z. Tyler had an excellent signal assuming the satellite altitude was only 1340 km.

Nice RS-44 low pass 2 dgrs in max, sat altitude over 1500 km. Worked WT8D (EN55, 7520 km) and KB1HY. Sorry I missed US station with number 3 in call, weak signal and couldn't get the call. I heard a few other standard stns over the pond too, but unfortunately no new callsign or grid.

I have scientific evidence that DX radio propagation is only possible because of a flat Earth. I need to send a letter to the editor😂🐒😂🐒😂

Unfortunately this is very common lately.

It's nice to hear a lot of stations over the pond in the evening RS44 near-apogee passes. Hrd/wkd several new calls. The satellite works great, and requires minimal power for a very loud signal (it seems that some did not notice it 😟).

This morning at 06:16 worked KP3V from FK78DI, QRB 7950 km, 30 seconds of signal at a sat elev. of 0.5 to -0.5 degrees. All credits goes to Rafael, who woke up at 2 AM local time to make the QSO possible. Thank you Rafael for the new DXCC satellite entity for 9A1CAL.

Just worked A68A LL75sg on MESAT-1 / MO-122, QRB 4195 km using SSB (my MO-122 ODX so far) and 4X1AJ KM71og 2345 km, using CW. Several minutes before worked A68A on SO-50 using FM.

#9A1CAL quick activity on 2 passes of time-overlapping satellites, worked within several minutes VE2KDK FN36 on AO-7 SSB followed by 7Z1SJ LL25 on SO-50 FM (3525 km).

Just worked OX3AH GG44 for the first time on AO-7, and a few minutes later on RS-44.

PS: this took about 6 hours to do which I will never get back :-D

Excellent summary and analysis.
