[amsat-bb] Re: Russian KOSMOS award?

[Bruce]

we did change from having the south africa award issued in south africa 
with their number to a U.S. issued number. if you have one of the 
original ones, i guess they are a bit more of a collectors item than the 
U.S. issued ones. i have number 17 of the original south africa issued 
certificates. they issued number 1-36 and then we started issuing them 
as US1 and are up to US169.

now go figure this one.... i have vucc satellite number 17. i have 
amsat's century award #21 and since 1977 when it was first started, we 
are only up to number 40.

73...bruce
