Bob/Folks
I am deeply flattered by this award, and wish to express my appreciation. I will continue to support and provide Teamspeak for as long as it is useful to the amateur radio community. I also look forward to my participation in TAPR, in the future.
The past three years have, for me, been the most exciting times I have ever had in amateur radio! This is in a very large part due to you, the "Best of the Best" in the hobby, contributing of your fantastic talent to advance the state of the communications art. Communications is the hallmark of amateur radio. VOIP via Teamspeak is another tool which fits the purpose of leveraging diverse talents.
The biggest thrill has been actually meeting you folks worldwide, *eyeball* You are the finest kind! I expect to continue that in the years to come!
Viva Eagle! Viva amateur radio!
Thanks Eric - AA4SW

It pleases me greatly to announce that Eric Ellison has been presented with an award from AMSAT. It is sometimes easy to take for granted what seems to many to be a small thing. In the case of AMSAT, Eric's work made virtual meetings not only possible but easy. AMSAT has literally run its Eagle project using VOIP facilities which Eric set up on behalf of the technical groups active today in amateur radio in satellites, technology, and in particular software defined radio. AMSAT and TAPR both recognize Eric's work, AMSAT with the award and TAPR membership with Eric's election to its board of directors. Someday Eric's TEAMSPEAK server will be universally recognized for the spectacular impact it has had and will continue to have.
Eric, the award is in the mail from the AMSAT office along with a gift membership in AMSAT for a year.
Jim Sanford, Eagle project manager, and I and the entire organization give you our thanks for your generosity and help.
