Hello Trevor, Congratulations to Helen Sharman GB1MIR and to all those who made 'Ham Radio' operational from MIR space station. This is certainly a great achievement. On this 20th Anniversary (I suppose), we express our sincere thanks with gratitude to everyone from the Russian, American and European Space Agencies and various Amateur Radio societies around the World. All that what 'Ham radio' from space is today is due to the uncompromising and relentless pains, efforts and determination put in by these people.
