At the Symposium this past weekend many people were recognized for their efforts and achievements for the prior year; I think the Journal will list them all in due time. Germane to this thread--both Patrick WD9EWK and John K8YSE were appropriately recognized for their incredible effectiveness with making contacts and promoting our niche of the hobby.
Way to go, guys! The contacts these two alone have chaulked up is nothing short of amazing...

Subject: [amsat-bb] WD9EWK - Hardest Workin' AMSATter
We have to create a "Hardest Workin' AMSAT Member" award, and give the first one to Patrick. When I perform my demos, he's ALWAYS out there. When he slides into his car, he is ALWAYS stopping alongside a highway to work a satellite. (Did you see the video he posted yesterday? He is LITERALLY stopped alongside a highway just to work a bird for our benefit.)
I have seen him in action at a hamfest in Arizona ... I hope some of his energy and enthusiasm rubs off on us all.
