SK We just lost another satellite operator. SK
His name is Telmer G. Olson W0ypt In Monona IA Telmer worked the first Oscar,s and the one,s operating
today.
He Elmered me and helped me get into the Sats in 1996 I knew him as a great friend that I called on for advice all
the time.
I used to visit him at his QTH and went to hamfests with
him too.
He was 91 years old and he passed away April 15th 2009 I and all the people who ever had contact with will
always
Remember the many QSO,s and contacts we had with him. Jerry w0sat
