I am sadden to hear of the passing of Telmer. I have W0YPT in my satellite logs many times going back to the very early days.Always enthusiastic in his AMSAT activities. He will be missed.

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.
