Hi, everyone,

I just read the story of "Fifty Years in Space" by David, K1ZZ in the November issue of QST. It's good to review the history of amateur satellite and it reminds me that I have a lot of AMSAT friends there in the United States. It was a thrill to be a part of AMSAT team in Dayton this year and that was the 1st show of AMSAT-China to the world.

The first Chinese amateur satellite was launched in 2009. We are late but we are eventually there.
