As 2014 draws to an end and we look at all the accomplishments hams have made towards satellite operation and those that have entered the satellite community I would like to thank all of those that have made the year what it was. Those that took time off to travel and work satellites from semi-rare and rare grid squares, those that operated for the AO-7 special event, those that helped build, test and launch satellites and especially those that nurture students in elementary through college grades.

Here are our latest inductions into some of the AMSAT awards community.

The following have entered into the Satellite Communicators Club for making their first satellite QSO.

David Barholomew, AD7DB John Bartholomew, N7JY Walter Dilley, KD7DNY Nicolas Romero, KG5BON
