[amsat-bb] Re: AMSAT Satellite Communications Achievement Award #500

[Ernie]

I like the plan that Bruce came up with. It got me to check my cards and 
I found more than enough to apply for the award. And now I might have a 
one in 20 chance to get the number 500 on my award.

Thanks Bruce.... good idea.
