I have been a bit busy and have not updated the awards in some time (like since the end of August).
Would you like to take a walk down memory lane? When I took over the AMSAT Awards in 2001, I entered the certificates back to #215 for the Satellite Communication Achievement Award. I found an old list dated 1988 today and have I have filled in all the certificates on my website back to Number 1. Sorry, the dates they were issued were not on the list for all of them. But it appears that the first ones were issued around 1975. I recognized two of the early calls... K2ZRO and W2RS.
