It was May 12, 2001, the day that Mike Scarcella, WA5TWT, the previous AMSAT Awards Manager handed over all the files to me as the new Awards Manager. For 10 years I have performed this duty as fairly and equitably as I can. I computerized all the awards, entered some of the very early Communication Achievement Awards into the computer and helped create some new awards along the way.
Here's to another 10 years, enjoy.
Here is a list of awards issued in the last month or so.
