  1. Absolutely loved the QSO, Tanner. Tickled pink, running 100 watts into an inverted Windom Dipole. Can’t wait to see the card. Gud luck on the 50th Anniversary Johnson Space Center Special Event. 73 John, KC4LZN.

  2. Had a brief QSO (understandably) with W5RRR via SO-50 (Saudi OSCAR 50) at about 1358z on October 14. I hope that is part of the special event activity. I’d certainly would like to get a special event QSL card. Thanks for the QSO and happy anniversary! 73 Mac, AE5PH.

  3. I was able to make it thru the pileup on 100 watts on a g5rv. As a transplanted Houstonian now up in Minnesota, It was an honor to work you guys. Happy anniversary! 73 Stephen – N5MBN

  5. Thanks for the QSO. Special event stations that are interesting to my kids are hard to find but who doesn’t like SPACE? Together, we have worked N1KSC-Kennedy Space Center and DL0ESA-European Space Ops Centre. It is an honor to add Johnson Space Center to the list. Happy Anniversary!

  7. Just got home now, and tried on 14.273, and after the pileup of callsigns, I called /QRP. I am running LD-11 LNR precision QRP radio 6 watts thru alexloop, and got thru, from INSIDE MY HOUSE!!!! 🙂

    I tried a few times yesterday(outside on endfed antenna), but 20M didn’t seems to be as loud/clear as today. Thanks for QSO Tanner, you’re 5/9 and excellent audio.

    Congrats on special event 50yrs.
