[amsat-bb] AMSAT Awards

[Bruce]

Normally I am able to wait 4-6 weeks before posting a list of AMSAT 
awards. However, something must have gotten in the water and in the past 
few days the awards have sky rocketed.

Due to the effort of Matt, N8MS, at the ARRL Teacher's Institute 2, 
there were 8 hams that worked their first satellite contact. They are 
included in the list below.

making their first satellite QSO.
