I just recieved, in the mail, a certificate from AMSAT signed by Barry
Baines, WD4ASW, recognizing my
service to AMSAT for the weekly release of the Keplerian Elements or KEPs. I
very much appreciate
being recognized for my service and thank you all for this honor, but I
think I have had the better
of the bargain. I am not gifted with the ability to design, build, or
manage satellites, but I
still like to use them. I have been blessed with a job that I can do for
AMSAT since 1993 that I
really enjoy doing. I inherited the job from Dick Campbell, N3FKV and sent
out my first set of KEPs
on October 8, 1993. Thanks, AMSAT for letting me participate in the most
rewarding part of Amateur
Radio that I have ever experienced.
